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.
