Description
This is similar to Issue #366 = Provide C# interop for cross platform msix packaging library but for Rust.
If packaging had a WinRT API it could be projected to Rust via Rust/WinRT
The Window packaging API is COM
The cross-platform packaging API is C++
Neither is available to Rust developers in a natural way
Ideally the cross-platform API is given a WinRT form, and then it can be projected to Rust via Rust/WinRT, and other future languages as new projections are available

Research direction
Start by reviewing Issue #366 and the existing cross-platform C++ API, then examine how Rust/WinRT projects WinRT interfaces. Define how the packaging API could be exposed in WinRT form and what Rust projection support would require. Done means a decided interop design with the necessary implementation scope identified.
