Yes, I get this is a very bad idea from a Debian point of view, but in
order to maintain
a windows build there are other difficulties. The most glaring
difficulty is that there are no standard installation points
for third party libraries, which means that Visual Studio project
files are going to be fore one system only.

I can of course organize it otherwise, such as git submodules, but
this is mainly done this way in order to get the windows
builds working.
