I think it would be better if we could have an option for this knob.
Maybe like this

option(NO_VCPKG "Don't use vcpkg for obtaining dependencies. Only
applicable to Windows platforms" OFF)

Option would definitely be the better tool to use here, I just didn't
think about
it when originally writing it, so I'll send a reroll with that and the spelling
corrections suggested by Eric Sunshine.  I assume you'd prefer something
with a final form more like:

option(USE_VCPKG "Whether or not to use vcpkg for obtaining dependencies.
Only applicable to Windows platforms" ON)

I would prefer to use `USE_VCPKG`.

Thank You,
