Description

It would make like easier for VCPKG users to access WebView2.

However I acknowledge that ensuring that the underlying platform is "correct" is a bit more difficult - this I would leave up to the developers as it seems easy to embed the appropriate installer in the final bundle being shipped - at least for windows environments.
