NuProj provides MSBuild based support for creating NuGet packages (.nupkg).

Creating NuGet packages is as simple as:

NuGet.exe pack MyPackages.nuspec -basepath D:\source\bin

Well, except for the part where you need to integrate this into your build
process.

NuProj allows defining the entire .nuspec file via a regular MSBuild project:

msbuild MyPackage.nuproj /p:BasePath=D:\source\bin

At first this might not look like a big deal but this gives you the following
advantages:

* Easy integration into existing build processes
* No placeholder limitations -- every piece of information can be injected via
  the build process
* Proper reporting of errors and warnings
* Enables a [Visual Studio Integration][NuProjVS]

Below is an example how HelloWorld.nuproj would look like:

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0"
         DefaultTargets="Build"
         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <Id>HelloWorld</Id>
    <Version>1.0.0</Version>
    <Title>HelloWorld</Title>
    <Authors>Me</Authors>
    <Owners>Me</Owners>
    <Description>Hello World</Description>
    <ReleaseNotes>Hello World</ReleaseNotes>
    <Summary>Hello World</Summary>
    <ProjectUrl>http://nuproj.codeplex.com</ProjectUrl>
    <LicenseUrl>http://nuproj.codeplex.com/license</LicenseUrl>
    <Copyright>Copyright (c) Immo Landwerth</Copyright>
    <RequireLicenseAcceptance>False</RequireLicenseAcceptance>
    <Tags>HelloWorld</Tags>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Library Include="$(BasePath)HelloWorld.dll">
      <TargetFramework>net40</TargetFramework>
    </Library>
  </ItemGroup>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <NuProjTargetsPath Condition=" '$(NuProjTargetsPath)' == '' ">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\NuProj\NuProj.targets</NuProjTargetsPath>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <Import Project="$(NuProjTargetsPath)" />
</Project>
```
