[CMake] External dependencies and Windows

[Ansis Māliņš]

I'm just learning CMake and posting questions in this mailing list, but the
answers I get only confuse me. It seems I must take a step back and ask
more general questions.

In Linux there is a package for everything, so you just find_package
whatever you need.

But on Windows most libraries exist only as zip files that you're supposed
to unpack right in your build environment and ship them together with the
executable. (Basically, in practice, there is no such thing as shared
libraries in Windows - nothing for find_package to find.)

So how am I supposed to write portable CMake scripts in face of this?
