After a couple hours of experimentation, I think I figured out how to create a single NuGet package (.nupkg) to deliver both an assembly for managed projects (like .csproj) and a .lib for native projects (like .vcxproj). This allows me to deliver an API to MSBuild-based projects with a single nupkg.
I just created the label oop-ba-unsquashed before squashing the last two months of coding into a single working commit. For the record, I was a fool for believing I could get this done in a week or two. Next stop wix5-rc.1.
