* __AdditionalImportDirs__
Specify additional directories in which to search for imports in .proto files. The directories are searched in the order given. You may specify directories _outside_ of the
project directory. The directories are passed to the `protoc` code generator via the `-I/--proto_path` option
together with `Protobuf_StandardImportsPath` and `ProtoRoot` directories.
__Specifying multiple values in properties__
Some properties allow you to specify multiple values in a list. The items in a list need to
be separated by semi-colons (;). This is the syntax that MsBuild uses for lists.
The properties that can have lists of items are: __OutputOptions__, __AdditionalProtocArguments__, __GrpcOutputOptions__
The properties that can have lists of items are: __OutputOptions__, __AdditionalProtocArguments__, __GrpcOutputOptions__, __AdditionalImportDirs__
Example: to specify two additional arguments: ```--plugin=protoc-gen-myplugin=D:\myplugin.exe --myplugin_out=.```
