This is a fresh start on #1113888: Command arbitrary fields / CCK fields, which just got to be a mess. I have a pretty clear vision of the general direction I want this restructure to take, as documented in #1145116: Feeds Multi Parser, but I need some guidance on how to actually implement it.

I've decided to go with something a little less ambitious than the full generalized Multi Parser, and basically just allow the selection of multiple simultaneous commands plugins. However, even that is a fair technical challenge, since I'm not sure how to present configuration forms for each plugin in a nice intuitive way, nor how to store those configurations in the database.

Since no one seems to be taking an interest in this, and I haven't been able to get any support from Feeds or CTools maintainers through the issue queues or direct contact, I'm going to postpone it for now, and not plan on making any major changes to the command/authentication plugin system in the near future.

I've done about as much as I'm willing to do for now- I've moved the parseExtensions and parseAttachments functions into fully-fledged commands processors:
