Is .NET Compact Framework supported?

[NenoLoje]

Question: Does NuGet support creating packages for .NET Compact Framework?

The Target Frameworks page does not list any .NET Compact Framework versions (but others like .NET Micro Framework and very old .NET versions).

Maybe .NET CF needs to be added to that list?

I believe CF is treated as a framework profile instead of a new framework.

Example: net45-cf

The docs should probably be updated to include these along with the silverlight profiles.

@emgarten Where in the source is the best place to get the definitive list of TFMs? Perhaps https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/blob/f0f9186a0d236611a104d527a8466fb789299e0c/test/NuGet.Core.Tests/NuGet.Frameworks.Test/CompatibilityTests.cs?

The profile names are here:
https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/blob/dev/src/NuGet.Core/NuGet.Frameworks/DefaultFrameworkMappings.cs#L113-L117

The above code contains the mappings from the abbreviations to the full name.
