Nice. How about

$StandardPackages := # <> "`" & /@
   StringSplit[
     FileNames["*",
      ToFileName[{$InstallationDirectory, "AddOns",
        "Packages"}]], $PathnameSeparator][[All, -1]]

$LegacyPackages := (#1 <> "`" <> #2 <> "`") & @@@
   StringSplit[
     FileNames["*.m",
      ToFileName[{$InstallationDirectory, "AddOns", "LegacyPackages"}],
       2], {$PathnameSeparator, "."}][[All, {-3, -2}]]

That should work for all operating systems ($PathnameSeparator) and 
produce a list of contexts that can be called with Get.
