ICP and CPD drivers require PCL, and PCL is not available as part of the
OSGeo4W build. A PCL-enabled build is a do-it-yourself item at the
moment. PCL is buildable on Windows, but I don't think anyone has done
the PCL + PDAL combo there. There's plenty of examples of that working
in Linux, specifically on Ubuntu, however.

The best source of Windows build tips are the AppVeyor continuous
integration scripts
