My original notes are listed below -- but since then also came across this good article:

## Notes ##

Nuget modifies *.csproj files, adding:


    <Import Project="$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\NuGet.targets" />

At the end.

But note that it is *solution* based. 

The first thing that needs doing is search/replacing it with a path that is relative to the Project, not the Solution:

    <Import Project="$(ProjectDir)\..\..\.nuget\NuGet.targets" />
    
 


Also have to edit the .nuget.targets file from:

<sxh>
        <SolutionDir Condition="$(SolutionDir) == '' Or $(SolutionDir) == '*Undefined*'">$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\..\</SolutionDir>
        <NuGetToolsPath>$(SolutionDir).nuget</NuGetToolsPath>
        <NuGetExePath>$(NuGetToolsPath)\nuget.exe</NuGetExePath>
        <PackagesConfig>$(ProjectDir)packages.config</PackagesConfig>
        <PackagesDir>$(SolutionDir)packages</PackagesDir>
</sxh>


to

<sxh>
        <SolutionDir Condition="$(SolutionDir) == '' Or $(SolutionDir) == '*Undefined*'">$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\..\</SolutionDir>
        <NuGetToolsPath>$(ProjectDir)..\..\.nuget</NuGetToolsPath>
        <NuGetExePath>$(NuGetToolsPath)\nuget.exe</NuGetExePath>
        <PackagesConfig>$(ProjectDir)packages.config</PackagesConfig>
        <PackagesDir>$(ProjectDir)..\..\packages</PackagesDir>
</sxh>
