The generated makefile does not install command.cfg. So I guess the
packages are adding that feature in. I think the thought process was that
folks would have modified the commands and we didn't want to over-ride
them on upgrades.
I like the idea of separating the configs into separate files. The cfg_dir
parameter should be able to suck in all the command definitions.
If we do separate them into files, then template format as default is
appropriate.
