Support UNC source

[denelon]

As an enterprise IT administrator I want to be able to have a UNC source so I don't have to stand up APIs or web services to provide a private repository to my users.

This may mean that the repository is simply a "manifests" folder, and the client needs to traverse the structure to pull in the information in order to support the "search" command.

There should also be a corresponding PowerShell module to support UNC source manifest repositories. For example, Publish-Package, Get-Package, etc., similar to PowerShellGet.

Any news on this? UNC paths are needed to gain adoption in enterprise environments.
