Paket.pack: add support for nuget dependencies conditional on target framework

See original GitHub issue

As of Nuget 2.0, support for package dependencies that that are bound to specific target frameworks has been included. For instance:

<dependencies> 
   <group>
      <dependency id="RouteMagic" version="1.1.0" />
   </group>

   <group targetFramework="net40">
      <dependency id="jQuery" />
      <dependency id="WebActivator" />
   </group>

   <group targetFramework="sl30">
   </group>
</dependencies>

I’m not entirely sure how this feature would fit in with the design philosophy of paket, but I’d be interested to see having something like this added to the paket.template syntax.

I have a need for this as well. But I’ll also have to specify empty groups to be able to end up with the following:

<dependencies>
    <group targetFramework=".NETFramework3.5">
        <dependency id="TaskParallelLibrary" version="1.0.2856" />
    </group>
    <group targetFramework=".NETFramework4.0" />
</dependencies>

Maybe this could then become:

dependencies targetFramework=net35
    TaskParallelLibrary >= 1.0.2856
dependencies targetFramework=net40
