So I updated my Docker image to use VCPKG and tried a super simple VCPKG 
project:

https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/merge_requests/56

Currently it fails to build because the bzip2 port of VCPKG tries to 
checkout a commit-id which is no longer existing. Not their fault that 
the bzip2 team changed their GIT history, but also not a very good start :-D

Let me know if you already started on converting the KMyMoney build 
chain to VCPKG.

All the Best
Alex
