As Sebastian points out, 2e has already used up the obvious word, viz.,
package.

barbara gave a list from her thesaurus, of which I find `corpus' most
satisfying.

Next would come `suite', but (in computer-ese) that has more of a
connotation of collection of _programs_, at least to me.

barbara's `agglomeration' and Mike's `amalgamation' convey the right
meaning, but sound clumsy...
