Hmm. I think a new target 'pwad' might be the best approach at the
moment, with parent-IWAD sub-arguments. so

  game-data-packager pwad --doom2 foo.wad -> foo-pwad
  (foo-pwad depends: doom2-engine)

To avoid cluttering it too much. I don't think the pwad functionality
should be buried under the existing targets since most of the machinery
for them (hash checking the IWADs etc.) is irrelevant (it's also less
discoverable)

On the one hand, one day there'll be a gdp GUI frontend which will make
the long list more usable, on the other, I imagine we'll always have a
CLI option so...
