[wix-devs] Problems building dutil and wcautil repos

[Hoover, Jacob]

1. Or we could download the exe as needed (via an inline task) into a supporting tools type of folder, and ensure it's excluded from version control.

1. True. Nuget.exe is expected on the path. I prefer that option over checking the executable into all the repos.

2. There is a dutil\src\dutil\build folder: https://github.com/wixtoolset/dutil/tree/master/src/dutil/build

3. wcautil\src\wcautil\build folder also exists.

*       DUtil assumes nuget.exe is available on the path. One isn't included in VS or .NET Core SDK.

*       DUtil's pack target fails with "Could not find a part of the path 'z:\wix\dutil\src\dutil\build'." (Log below.) There's no such file. Is it missing or should the reference be removed from dutil.nuspec?

*       Same pack problem with wcautil.
