How can I use a Avalonia control from Nuget in Fabulous.Avalonia?

[edgarfgp]

@Tangent-90 Any control in particular that you want to use in Fabulous ?

[ConradRoesch]

Since we've not heard back on a particular control, I'll propose one:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Mapsui.Avalonia
I chose this example since maps are required by all sorts of applications and are not included in the base AvaloniaUI framework.

I suppose that the proper way to support this would be creating a Mapsui.Fabulous.Avalonia NuGet library that wraps the standard Mapsui.Avalonia library, using the WidgetBuilder approach that exposes the standard AvaloniaUI controls.

But perhaps there is an easier way to incorporate an Avalonia NuGet control like this out-of-the-box that I am overlooking?

@ConradRoesch Mapsui seems like a good control to use for Maps. For this non official control we have normally 2 options.

1. We encourage people to create its own Fabulous.Avalonia control wrapper in their individual GitHub profile like I tried to do with AvaloniaEdit using a naming convention like Fabulous.Avalonia.AvaloniaEdit
2. We can host it in the Fabulous GitHub organization like we have done for Fabulous.MauiControl.Maps in the past and give maintainer permissions so we can help/assist maintaining, releasing etc. if it is necessary.

If you are interested let me know :)

I'll take a stab at this when I find some time. I'll start on my GitHub profile, and If I get far enough along that it could be broadly useful, I'd be happy to move it to Fabulous if the organization would like to host it.
