This can support any package types NuGet can create. I'm not sure how well C++ projects can consume nuget packages.

C++ project (and C++/CLI too) can consume nuget packages in the packages.config way - see native packages: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/guides/native-packages

The creation process is kind of painful to do manually - there was a tool named coapp - http://coapp.org/ | https://github.com/coapp that automated the process but it's not supported anymore. Vcpkg now has an option to create nuget packages: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/vcpkg-introducing-export-command/
