This tends to make me want a separate Map Collection configure
dialog where I can switch between various map collections and then
select which maps from the Map Chooser would be part of it.  That
way you could have one map be present in multiple collections.

It's probably also be good to have a "Clone" button so that you
could start with one map collection and clone it, then add/delete
from it to come up with a new configuration.
