Why

So why would we need this? For automated CICD pipelines and new project templates. The default crestron msbuild targets use aniquated libraries and won't execute properly on github runners and other dotnet core build tools.

Plus its actually kindof nice to have a command line tool that creates CLZs

Dotnet Tool

Located in the source/SimplSharp.Tool directory you will find a dotnet 8 console application that provides required commands used to generate CLZ, CPZ, and CPLZ As of the first release only CLZs are supported This application is packaged as a dotnet tool and published to nuget.org

Target Package

Located in the source/SimplSharp.Targets directory you will find a project containing nothing more than build files. This project is packaged as nuget to nuget.org.
When included as a project reference the SimplSharp.Targets build pipeline will attempt to install the dotnet tool, and execute the proper command line actions to generate the Simpl Sharp archives.
