Windows Modules for Windows Nanoimage

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

I wanted to manage certificates in a Windows nano image using Powershell, e.g. Import-Certificate

Currently these Windows modules are not included.

My attempts to add them myself were not successful.
Using the PKI module as an example, I copied the files into the nano image and tried to load the module:

Import-Module: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CertificateServices.PKIClient.Cmdlets, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified.

Other import methods also produce a similar error:
Failed to load assembly: Exception calling “LoadFile” with “1” argument(s): “Could not load file or assembly ‘C:\tmp\Microsoft.CertificateServices.PKIClient.Cmdlets.dll’. The specified module could not be found.”

I think it might have to do with a lack of dependencies. PKI, for example has:

Referenced Assembly: mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Referenced Assembly: Microsoft.VisualC, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
Referenced Assembly: System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Referenced Assembly: System.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Referenced Assembly: System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Referenced Assembly: System.Configuration.Install, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
Referenced Assembly: System.Management.Automation, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

It would be great if these Windows modules were also available.
