Description
Description
I have a few DLLs from a third-party vendor which I want to reference in a project. From the documentation it looks like I could pack them as zip file, and add a http-reference to paket.dependencies. The zip file is then downloaded and extracted. How would I reference the files in the zip now in a paket.references? The best I could do was to add a new line to paket.references like File: myzip.zip, but this does not include all DLLs from the zip but the zip-file itself.
Is there a way to handle this usecase or is this the wrong way to reference a bunch of related DLL files with paket?

Research direction
The issue concerns paket.dependencies and paket.references; start by tracing how HTTP ZIP sources and File entries are handled. Determine whether extracted DLLs can be referenced individually, and make the supported outcome clear for including the vendor libraries.
