Trips up when presented with non-standard packages about strauss

[Flickwire]

Separately, though related, is the case of 'provides' type requirements, such as php-http/client-implementation. Obviously these should be excluded (as presumably a providing package is being required somewhere and will be picked up by Strauss separately), and this can be done manually in the strauss configuration for the root package, but skipping these automagically would be nice, though I am not sure how possible this is.

Looks like the Packagist API will help address packages like league/omnipay.

Probably by doing ~ if(!file_exists(...)), which would also work with other non-standard package types, but I haven't looked at any yet.

I didn't notice that Strauss handles the provides key of packages. It's certainly not explicitly doing so, but maybe they're being pulled in via Composer\Package\PackageInterface::getRequires(). There are already default exclusions for psr* and ext-* which I'd expected would be expanded.

I'm busy for the next week but will take a look into this afterwards.

OK, I've a branch with passing tests:
https://github.com/BrianHenryIE/strauss/blob/meta-packages/tests/Issues/StraussIssue22Test.php

It's reading the meta package from composer.lock (which I looked for before but thought it wasn't there!) and is ignoring the virtual package.

There some code duplication that needs to be tidied up:

And it needs a test with a package that requires a virtual package. And needs to be tested on Windows.

I pushed some more changes to the branch. I don't foresee any more. Once I get a chance to write a few lines in the README I'll merge and push a new release to Packagist.
