bgfx/cci.20230216 : I was expecting to be able to use the shaderc binary to create shaders, but they are not installed

Description

I'm attempting to include the bgfx library in my project, to render 3D visualizations and more, using conan2. I manage to build and run the most trivial example, with simple log output in renders, so the library and headers are there. However, the library depends heavily on it's own shader-compiler, shaderc, which does not seem to be available. I can't find them in the ~/.conan2/p folder, where everything else is present and working. I was also trying to figure out how it could be done, but looking at the recipe confuses me. It would be very interesting to me to learn how to get such a thing working. I might even be able to pitch in and help with it, but it is not really obvious how, given the state of the recipe.

Package and Environment Details

Steps to reproduce

My conanfile.py works as far as compiling and running the app. -----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----

  imgui_dep = "imgui/1.90"

  def requirements(self):
    self.tool_requires('cmake/3.27.9')
    self.requires('gtest/1.14.0')
    self.requires('grpc/1.54.3')
    self.requires('codie/0.5.93')
    self.requires('bgfx/cci.20230216')
    self.requires('bx/cci.20221116') # Just build-tools
    self.requires('bimg/cci.20230114')
    self.requires(self.imgui_dep)
    self.requires('implot/0.16')

-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----

Running: find ~/.conan2/p -type f -iname '*shaderc*' only finds source-files. There is no .../bin/ - folder in the cache.

But, checking out the source for bgfx et'al from github does also produce the binary shaderc.
