I managed to cobble together a PoC PowerShell script that uses
download-mingw-rpm[1] and CoApp[2] to convert the openSUSE Build Service
zlib packages to NuGet packages. The results are attached. Adding more
packages shouldn't be too difficult. Switching to Chocolatey packages
shouldn't be difficult either.

If I understand correctly, the main difference between Chocolatey
packages and NuGet packages from our perspective is that the former are
installed in system-wide locations (primarily %ProgramFiles%) and the
latter are installed in the local source directory. Which would be
preferable for building Wireshark on Windows?
