Yup. And the majority are trivial to add. The list-of-packages-to-install
collection is the (slightly) hard one as GetOpt++ has no 'native' interface
for that at the moment. However I've implemented such a collection twice now
using GetOpt++ for other projects, and am about ready to provide a generic
interface in GetOpt++.

It's not a deliberate inclusion, but consider that a command collection
takes argc, argv arguments. Parse the file into strings, treating unquoted
spaces and line breaks as new strings. Place pointers to those cstrings in a
vector and it's all done.
