Interesting. I was sitting here trying to figure out what you could be
possibly running into. I don't do my builds with bzip2 installed from MinGW!

Turns out CMakeLists.txt has:

IF(MSVC)
     FIND_PACKAGE(BZIP2 REQUIRED)
     FIND_PACKAGE(XZ REQUIRED)
     FIND_PACKAGE(ICU REQUIRED)
     FIND_PACKAGE(CURL REQUIRED)
ELSE(MSVC)
     FIND_PACKAGE(BZIP2 QUIET)
     FIND_PACKAGE(XZ QUIET)
     FIND_PACKAGE(ICU
                    COMPONENTS data i18n io uc)
     FIND_PACKAGE(CURL QUIET)
ENDIF(MSVC)

No issues taking that out, but why would I have make BZip2, XZ, and cURL
required on MSVC but not for any builds with gcc, even on Windows?

As for its support, I imagine you can use vcpkg to install it? Then you
don't have to mess with maintaining your own builds.
