Answer 1

I searched around for days until I found there is really no help out there on the internet at all. I did managed to piece together how to do it, and through trial and error got it working well. Which I have documented here:

But I'll summarize here anyways:

• Gather or stage your native library files into a folder of your choosing.
• Create a *.nuspec file in that folder.
• Edit the *.nuspec file to include the files you want to include in your package.
• Create a *.props file
• Call nuget pack to create the package.
• Push the nuget package to a feed somewhere.
• Create a packages.config file.
• Edit the visual studio project file to import the *.props file

Notice that the nuget tools inside the visual studio IDE are NEVER used. You have to do a LOT manually. See the link for full details and explanations.
