We cannot check this in until the website version bumps to 62.

Autolinking is performed automatically as a part of the `run-windows` command:

1. At build time, autolinking is performed first, before `msbuild.exe` is invoked and the build actually started. It uses the information provided by `config` to both generate and modify certain native files consumed by your app project.
1. The `AutolinkedNativeModules.g.targets` file contains the necessary references to the dependency projects that must be built.
