Clearly we've already changed the syntax once (from -p a=b,c=d to
-p a=b -p c=d). Can't we just change it one more time and
require only one -p arg per command? Is there anything
in Crossbow that needs to set multiple props in one shot
(and if there are, can we have a meta-prop that sets
all of that info atomically)?

Recovering from a failure of a subset of props from the 
"-p" input can be tricky if there are multiple -p's involved.
