I really don't understand what would be going on here.  Something seems
quite mixed up.  The kazhdan library has no reference to jsoncpp as far as
I can tell and nothing should be linking in DimBuilder.obj.  Perhaps it's
just the output that's confused/misleading?

What I think is happening is that you have no jsoncpp library built in
debug mode.  If you remove jsoncpp (or hide it away somewhere), PDAL should
build its own internal version with the correct compiler options.  But this
may not be what's wrong as it's hard to say without the actual command
that's causing an error.

Have you cleaned all the output from some previous build?

Do I need to manually download all 3rd party components and build them for

I don't know for sure, but it may be the case.  The Windows library
compatibility issues aren't fun.

There's no schedule.  Often we wait for review.

Not at this time, though we try to have releases on a fairly regular basis.
