Edited Issue: "Nuget pack" ignores dependencies from packages.config [3097]

Assumption:

* There is a Visual Studio project (.csproj) without related solution (.sln) yet

If there isn't a packages folder in the "top-level" folder of the .csproj file folder, "Nuget pack" does not recognize the dependencies defined in the package.config next to a .csproj file.

To overcome this issue, you can place an empty solution (.sln) and a nuget.config (containing the path of the packages folder) on the top-level folder of the .csproj folder.

__Example:__

Assume you have the folder structure:

* MyProjects\MyProject\MyProject.csproj
* MyProjects\MyProject\packages.config

In order to make "nuget pack" recognize the dependencies defined in packages.config you have to place the following files in the MyProjects folder, otherwise it won't work:

* MyProjects\MyEmpty.sln
* MyProjects\nuget.config (containing path of packages folder)

So, the question is why is there this empty .sln necessary?
