Vendor fbthrift & folly using vcpkg about dwarfs HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi and thanks for your effort! Coincidentally, I wrote this note just a few hours ago about why attempts to externalize folly / fbthrift are, at least for the time being, a bad idea.

So unfortunately, I won't be moving away from the submodules approach for now; not because I don't want to, but because it's currently not safe to do so. Other projects depending on folly / fbthrift may be lucky if they link the libraries statically and use the same compile flags that were used for building folly / fbthrift, but it can be hard to tell (and even harder to debug) if something is wrong.

Sorry for the bad news, but I've been there a few times now and won't try again unless there's an upstream effort to officially support at least static linking across different C++ standards.
