Consider using Vcpkg for managing the external dependencies on Windows and macOS builds #739

@yvt

Description

@yvt

https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

Pros:

  • Developers no longer have to trust the pre-compiled package maintainer (= me!) not to put malicious things in the pre-compiled opaque binary blob
  • Developers (including me) will automatically have an access to the latest version of dependent libraries
    • Pre-compiled libraries are built manually and aren't updated for quite a long time.

Cons:

  • Developers have to trust Microsoft and the ecosystem
  • Extra step for installing vcpkg
