Chocolatey publication

[mrmlnc]

I would be happy to see the NVS in Chocolatey for automatic installation on the new machine(s).

Yes. And probably also brew for Mac OS. I'm not very experienced with either, but I'll look into this when I have time, unless someone else wants to contribute.

It would be nice to support scoop.sh as well. For comparison with Chocolatey, see https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/Chocolatey-Comparison.

I'm looking into publishing NVS in chocolatey to improve as part of the improvements of windows-dev-box-setup-scripts I'm working on.

There are a few files that are needed to publish in chocolatey (a few .ps1, .nuspec, etc.). I was planning on creating a new repo on my account and maintain it myself until I saw this issue. How do you want to proceed? Are you ok with that? Want me to try to get everything integrated in this repo? I don't see any publishing script in here to connect everything together so I'll probably create a separate folder for this and set up an npm script to do the magic.

Thanks!

If it's OK with you, I'd prefer to have it in this repo so it's easier for others to discover, and I can keep track of what's happening with it, and track issues in the same place. We can start with a PR, but if you're going to be maintaining it then I can give you push access so you don't have to be blocked on me.

Thank you!

@jasongin sure, makes sense. I just did a PR and some comments around things I'm unsure of the metadata.
