I hadn't realized that Chocolatey falls back to the official NuGet
repositories, i.e. "chocolatey install jquery" downloads the jQuery
package from nuget.org and installs it in C:\Chocolatey\lib. This might
make managing dependencies a lot simpler.

The part I'm using (AutoPackage) seems to make it easier to create a
properly-laid-out NuGet package but we could probably generate the
.nuspec files ourselves. The OBS → NuGet scripts are at
