Package managers for c++

[asmodehn]

We should have a deep look into
Ryppl
Nugets++
https://github.com/iauns/cpm
And other c++ dev package managers, as the goal of wkcmake is not far from it.

More on that topic. Nowadays we mainly have :

• hunter
• conan

Others seems to lag behind...

hunter seems interesting for our use-case, but we should be aware of pitfalls when integrating with existing cmake code. see http://0.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cmake.html
We likely will have to change a lot of things in wkcmake to integrate with it.

conan seems to be more targeted at binary packages and it might not be what we want given the resources needed to maintain packages built for different architectures... I could be wrong though.
