NuGet.targets offers the MSBuild "BuildPackage" property which enables .xxproj based building of NuGet packages leveraging NuGet.exe pack on the .xxproj.
Right now, I doubt most people even realize this exists. You would first have to use the "Enable Package Restore" feature to even get the NuGet.exe/.targets/.config into your project. Then you would have to know what the heck you're doing with MSBuild to even discover the feature and know to add the BuildPackage property to your .xxproj files.
I'm just hoping we can get some first class support for this in the IDE so more people can discover/configure it.
Comments: Ok, so what happens to package building? Are you dropping support for it entirely and leaving it up to everyone else to call out to nuget.exe or are you providing a newer, more elegant solution for it?
