Yes, this is going to be a problem for the dependencies, they're not
being managed by vcpkg.

Are you just grabbing the sources as a ZIP and not cloning from git?

GitHub doesn't include git submodules in ZIP source packages.  If I
enhanced my release process to add ZIP source packages with the
submodules included, would that work better for your workflow?

vcpkg will work on BSD, it will build itself from source first.  I'm
adding a FreeBSD and OpenBSD CI jobs on github.  I'll look into adding
a NetBSD job as well.

I'll be switching some dependencies to static linking, I think.

Good to know, thanks.
