Could read package lists from files #365

It would be quite useful if yaourt could have as argument not only package names, but also plain text files which contained list of packages.

This way one could have a list of packages to install, and just pass the text file as argument to perform an instant installation of a hole system.

This would allow installing OEM and enterprise computers almost instantly, or reinstalling a faulty system with very little downtime.

Can't you just use nested shell commands for this? yaourt -S $(cat package-list.txt)

I would rather write a tool myself. Thank you ;)
