Is the plan to add support for projects using packages.config?

Asking in an issue since no discussion activated here :-)

I see ref to packages.config-based projects and would love support for that.

I have mixed environment setup with C# (reference-style) and C++ projects that must use packages.config-style. (e.g : nlohmann/json#1132 (comment))

Beeing able to handle 'everything' would be great 👍

Projects using packages.config should be supported - that said: I have not done a lot of testing around that. There is a test that runs on CI testing the ability to handle packages.config projects.... See https://github.com/sensslen/nuget-license/tree/main/tests/targets/PackagesConfigProject

I'd love to accept contributions in that regard.

I saw that test-project and that made me optimistic, but then I saw this among the testcases :

nuget-license/tests/NuGetUtility.Test/ReferencedPackagesReader/ReferencedPackagesReaderIntegrationTest.cs

Line 74 in beae98c

$"Invalid project structure detected. Currently only PackageReference projects are supported (Project: {path})",

Anyway , great that it is on the table, I may have a go at something!

Oh, right - there was something. If you find a way to actually support legacy projects, I'll happily accept. However I seem to recall that packagesconfig projects are not supported by the nuget library provided by microsoft.

This has been resolved with #17. Thank you very much for your contribution!
