I would like to be able to install all of the NuGet packages in the packages.config, as per The NuGet docs. NuGet is installed as a VS Extension, and I can't seem to find nuget.exe. Is it possible to run:

nuget i packages.config -o Packages

Without maintaining a seperate copy of nuget.exe on a per project basis?
