Has anybody has success using a C++ package manager for their custom OS's userland?
In theory it should work, and it would be much better me trying to import and sync my local copies of third party libraries.

Bless Microsoft, they'll probably eff it up, like they do with everything else their shitty fingers touch (Midas touch, but fecal rather than golden.)
Still, it would certainly be worth a try, if someone else is being paid to maintain the packages. Is vcpkg platform agnostic?
