Hey @gwvo

Here is my removed (by ms guys) comment from vcpkg issue page in case if you didn't read it. :)

C++ Archive Network manages dependencies, versions, different OSs (it's crossplatform from very beginning), handles crossplatform builds very easy (build will inherit your current project settings and autocrossplaform all deps). All builds are cached too - you build your dependency only once. Static/shared mt/md different toolchains (vc11, vc12,vc14, clangX.X, gcc-X) are handled and supported out of the box.
It also stores sources on its site, so they shouldn't be lost.
And more to come.
