I'm looking into it, but wondering about any details people might have in mind. 
For example, does the directory scheme below make sense?

Yeah, this was discussed here and there before. I think it came down to someone 
just needs to do the work in NuGet.

Subject: [WiX-devs] NuGet support for wixlibs, extensions


 

I was working on a couple of bugs for NuGet when I noticed a comment in the 
source about not supporting .wixproj because there's currently no way to add 
libraries
 to the project. That got me to thinking about a potential idea I wanted to run 
across the DL first and get some ideas and I can open a feature and 
corresponding WIP.

 

I would need to talk about a few details with the NuGet maintainers, but I was 
thinking that, much like net20, net40, net45, etc. folders, developers could 
add .wixlibs and .dll binary extensions to folder names like wix3 or wix4 and, 
when added, will add the
 appropriate references via WixLibrary or WixExtension items. This could make 
sharing libraries very easy among an organization, or even make composing 
bundles or packages easier if someone wanted to, say, pre-req or install some 
dependency package. You can
 do it through refs (and that wouldn't change), but this just makes it easier 
to add those refs and would work well with many build systems.
