We don't really support that. Sorry. You'd have to create separate
packages for each of the tools.

What you can do if you have multiple packages, is to create inter
dependencies between them and have autopackage resolve them during
install time.

Example:
   You have 20 different tools, each in its own package.
   You create "Foo Administration Package" which depends on, say, 5 of
these packages. The user installs this Administration package and
autopackage downloads and installs the other 5 packages automatically.

You could also create the custom package selection tool yourself, and
have it download and install autopackages behind the scene. That way,
the user installs "Foo Main Package", then starts it which will
display a selection list or something.
