What would be the most frictionless workflow for working with NuGet and Visual Studio 2005? Is this at all possible? I understand that the plugin is only available for Visual Studio 2010, but there is still the package manager console wich seems to be nothing more than powershell. Can I run the console without Visual Studio and can the console download and integrate packages into visual studio 2005 projects? If so, how is this done?

Scott Hanselman blogged about adding NuGet "support" to Visual Studio 2008. You can probably adapt this slightly to work in Visual Studio 2005 too, though of course you won't get the same experience as in Visual Studio 2010.
