Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I often use CMake and Ninja as a build system, even for Windows only code, as it is better supported with VSCode. But as this is only a Nuget package, it makes it hard to use without MSBuild.
Describe the solution you'd like and alternatives you've considered
I propose a Git repository with tags for each version that have same contents as the Nuget package. No special files should be added for any one build system, as to allow for easy use with any build system. This would also allow integration into other package managers, like vcpkg, to be easier.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the NuGet package contents and the repository's current release and tagging setup, with attention to CMake and Ninja users. Done means versioned Git tags expose the same contents as the NuGet package without build-system-specific files, enabling use with other build systems and package managers such as vcpkg.
