@bretbrownjr this seems to be languishing -- can you have a look?

This conflicts with #44, I can look into this after #44 is merged.

@hallfox would you mind rebasing this pr to adopt the CMakePresets.json from #44?

Anyway we can test this?

Best way would be to add a vcpkg based toolchain to the CI matrix.

I cannot verify this, the added file doesn't seem to effect vcpkg toolchain at all.

This is what I've attempted:

1. installed the vcpkg environment as suggested on the referenced setup instruction
2. Passed -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake to cmake configure on a ubuntu 20.04 based codespace environment
3. Project builds correctly.
4. Removes the build directory
5. Corrupts the files in this pr
6. Configures with the same tool chain
7. Project still builds successfully

Again I am not familiar with this tool chain, I am just confused on what these two files adds....

Best way [to test] would be to add a vcpkg based toolchain to the CI matrix.

@hallfox, do you intend to add something like this as part of this PR? If not, is there a series of commands we can run manually to verify that this works as expected.

@hallfox @bretbrownjr , should we proceed with this PR or should we drop it?

Hi, sorry I've been a little unclear on the discussion above. We should add the vcpkg toolchain as part of the preset file in this PR if we still want this in. I can try to fix this up tonight.

@hallfox @bretbrownjr , should we proceed with this PR or should we drop it?

Me and @bretbrownjr will iterate on this soon as we are iterating through the package publishing process.

Closing out this PR since there hasn't been work on it for a while. Feel free to reopen if work restarts.
