Creating an action with a loosely defined parameter

[Tom Barber]

Yeah that wont work, because I don't know what the parameters would be
called, they are basically runtime variables for ETL designers.

On the command line I need to build a string that looks something like:

./kitchen -file=charmerroundup.kjb -param:marco=thinksallquestionareawesome
-param:kevin=likestodrinklachoufe
-param:notetoself=nevereatbluecheeseandicecream

so, I can have a user pass in all those params as one long string, but it
would nice to be able to model is as a KV object and just iterate over them.
