Initially it would be used to store the scripts I use to generate the
packages in the wireshark-winXX-libs SVN repository. The OBS packages are
built in two stages: First, a "nolib" zip file is created on Linux using
download-mingw-rpm.py, then the import libraries are built on Windows using
the Visual Studio library manager and zipped up. The second (lib + zip)
script is part of the final archive but not the first.

Ultimately I'd like to have a set of scripts that create NuGet packages
similar to what CoApp (which appears to be abandoned) was doing, preferably
without requiring multiple platforms. At the very least I'd like to remove
myself as a dependency.
