FWIW, I've looked at using either  vcpkg   or conan to more easily install /

build dependencies on windows, in the right debug / release mode.

The former was easier, but unfortunately the zlib, lz4, ... packages don't
include the gzip, lz4 etc binaries right now. That might be easy enough to fix
with an option. It does require building the dependencies locally.

Conan seemed to be a nicer architecture, but there's no builtin way to update
to newer dependency versions, and non-versioned dependencies don't actually
work. It has pre-built dependencies for the common cases.

I will have to do some testing with Conan and see how both compare.
