Since the previous answer was published, a very simple package has appeared that does exactly what is needed:

• https://bitbucket.org/mhinze/solutionscripts/src/d3651b843e3d/tools/init.ps1
• http://nuget.org/packages/solutionscripts

In short, install the package and put these scripts in a folder called SolutionScripts .
