[gdal-dev] Improving GDAL production in our release

[Robert Coup]

Hi,

Depending on what you need, I've found using VCPKG (https://vcpkg.io/en/)
can make it straightforward to address the dependencies *of* GDAL, and it's
all driven by CMake underneath, like GDAL's builds. Importantly, it is well
tested and supported on Windows. That means you end up spending your time
on GDAL/PROJ rather than why libpng or another sub-dependency isn't
building properly.

And if you don't need to track GDAL/PROJ super-closely, VCPKG itself mostly
tracks recent releases (eg: right now GDAL 3.10 and PROJ 9.5.1). It does
have a bit of a learning curve though; and things like python bindings add
extra complexity.

HTH,

Rob :)
