Hi Alex,

Thanks for creating the NuGet package, I've found it really useful! :) One 
thing I wondered about was the use of the install scripts to modify the wixproj 
files. Did you try using the nuget "build" folder to import the targets/props? 
IIRC when I've used this I don't need to restart Visual Studio to get it to 
reload.

Subject: [WiX-devs] My NuGet package for WiX / discussion about plans for v4

Hi!

First of all, congrats on your 3.9 release :)

I'm writing this to discuss what your plans are regarding a NuGet package for 
v4 (I know there's a feature request in your bug tracker for it).

I created this unofficial package (http://www.nuget.org/packages/WiX.Toolset) a 
while ago basically to suit my own needs, but it has gotten quite a lot of 
downloads, so I wanted to ask whether you want to take over the package ID when 
you're ready to launch the official package?

A quick peak into the source tree reveals that some code for a NuGet package 
(https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix4/tree/develop/src/Setup/Nuget/WixToolset.Tools)
 is already there, is that in a state to try it out?
I'm asking because I had to work around some bugs in earlier NuGet versions 
(that's why I set minClientVersion=2.7 in my nuspec) and VS/msbuild caching the 
.targets files causes a bit of a headache, so I recommend users restart VS 
after installing the package.

Would love to hear your thoughts,
Alex
