Speaking of PWADs: I just realized that the 'main' game menu in g-d-p is getting really long. Perhaps it would be better to support hexdd and all shareware versions in the way the quake mission packs are supportet:

 game-data-packager heretic -share ...
 game-data-packager hexen -hexdd ...
 game-data-packager doom -hacx ...

or something like that (are there any conventions on the options?).

As my patch is not in git yet, I could make a new one if the above sounds like a good idea!
