Please don't. C packaging in distros is working fine and doesn't need to turn into crap like the other language-specific package managers. If you don't know how to use pkgconf then that's your problem.

I am not sure if it is just me, but I seem to constantly run into broken vcpkg packages with bad security patches that keep them from compiling, cmake scripts that can't find the binaries, missing headers and other fun issues.
