Strange issue -- zadig depends on libconfuse.dll

[mcuee]

Under my VS2022 installation (latets up to date community edition), somehow libconfuse.dll will be generated and Zadig.exe will depend on libconfuse.dll. This is quite strange.

PS C:\work\libusb\libwdi> cd .\Win32\Release\examples\
PS C:\work\libusb\libwdi\Win32\Release\examples> ls

I am not so sure if this is the side effect of vcpkg.

Indeed, the dependancy to libconfuse.dll goes away once I remove vcpkg integration.

PS C:\src\vcpkg\vcpkg> .\vcpkg.exe integrate remove
User-wide integration was removed.

PS C:\work\libusb\libwdi> ls .\Win32\Release\examples\

Close this issue for now.
