Whatever happened about that? Did you switch to Conan in the end (or something else?) I remember trying vcpkg here and concluding that it was pretty useless 
I’ve made library requests for missing things, but it seems like it’ll be a while before anyone will contribute recipes (as they call it) to build them using the conan center index. As for myself, the responsibility to create recipes for 9 different libraries just feels like a tall mountain to climb, and I want to avoid such responsibilities so I can put my efforts elsewhere.
So is Conan an option to get the dependencies? Yes, but not all of them. In that regard for now, vcpkg is more convenient at the moment.

Did Conan seem promising if you wanted to build some older versions of its libraries? That was the thing I thought was flakiest about vcpkg. It wasn’t too bad if you only wanted the latest version of everything but if you needed to build earlier versions it seemed very hit-and-miss 
I’m not sure… I vaguely recall it making a dependency graph file, and having to deal with some libraries using different versions of their common dependencies resulting in errors, which had to be fixed. Maybe in that regard, you’d have to check depending on the libraries you intend on using.
