-    the C++ compiler.
-
-    A simple C# project is generated dynamically. It contains PackageReferences for common packages

-    can remain a simple and one-size-fits-all target for now.
-
-    If additional Nuget references need to be discovered and passed along for builds (for existing, or new) of
-    C++/CLI projects, they just need to be added to the vcxproj project file like this:
