Vcpkg: [Suggestion] Default triplets should be static builds with /MD.
Right now the default triplets enable DLL build with /MD.. But it causes a certain number of issues with libraries, such as Botan (C4251 all over the place) in addition of quickly polluting the output folders.
Unfortunately the *-static triplets only allows for static CRT linkage, which is in my knowledge, not a very good choice nor a very popular one.
Is there any reason yet why DLL build is preferred over static build ? Could it be possible to change the default triplets and rename the old ones as *-dll instead ?

Changing the triplets now would be a lot of work.
If you don't like the provided triplets make your own, say x64-windows-Bitkoda.cmake
x64-windows-Bitkoda.cmake
set(VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE x64)
set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
If you want that triplet to be the default, set VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET=x64-windows-Bitkoda
Did I miss the point of your request?

What if we add an option for static linkage with dynamic CRT linkage?
