In Git for Windows' SDK, there is already a script to package Git for
Windows as a NuGet package, downloading nuget.exe if needed.
Let's just fall back to using that executable (if it is there) if
nuget.exe was not found in the PATH.

This commit contains a GNU Makefile and NuGet configuration scripts to
download and install the various third-party libraries that we will need
to build/link with when using VS2015 to build Git.
The file "compat/vcbuild/README_VS2015.txt" contains instructions for
using this.
In this commit, "compat/vcbuild/Makefile" contains hard-coded version
numbers of the packages we require. These are set to the current
versions as of the time of this commit. We use "nuget restore" to
install them explicitly using a "package.config". A future improvement
would try to use some of the automatic package management functions and
eliminate the need to specify exact versions. I tried, but could not
get this to work. NuGet was happy dowload "minimum requirements" rather
than "lastest" for dependencies -- and only look at one package at a
time. For example, both curl and openssl depend upon zlib and have
different minimums. It was unclear which version of zlib would be
installed and seemed to be dependent on the order of the top-level
packages. So, I'm skipping that for now.
We need to be very precise when specifying NuGet package versions: while
nuget.exe auto-completes a version, say, 1.0.2 to 1.0.2.0, we will want
to parse packages.config ourselves, to generate the Visual Studio
solution, and there we need the exact version number to be able to
generate the exact path to the correct .targets file.
