I meant a command that accepts the names of packages and outputs a
manifest file that could be used with any of the commands that accepts
the "--manifest=" option. When I wrote that, I thought the only way to
easily make a manifest file with the packages I want was to generate
it. I have since read the docuentation again and now understand that is
not the case.
