How to add commands dynamically in VSPackage (Visual Studio 2013 Package)

I developed an Addin for VS2012, it is displayed in the code window (editor's) context menu. There's a menu which has a sub-menu. Sub-menu items are added dynamically, for instance..

 Cut
 Copy
 Paste
   .
   .
   .
 My Menu >  sub menu item 1
            sub menu item 2
            sub menu item 3

Now for Visual Studio 2013 I need to convert (almost re-write) the addin as VSPackage.

I am able to create a command, but I cannot add commands dynamically as sub menu items.

Please download the source code (VSPackage for VS2013) from: http://sdrv.ms/INbIu2

Question

How can I make a menu and dynamic sub menu in VSPackage?

I would really appreciate any example.

Thanks a lot!
