As mentioned in my response to the GUI PR, I just can't bring myself to
like this idea of matching vcpkg ports in OpenVPN core and GUI and the need
to keep them in sync, keep them updated etc. Feels like a  wrong approach

work-around for msvc. It could be applied first before fixing the msvc
build.
