Description

The current build system implemented here is MSBuild. It would useful to also provide a CMake project to build the library.

I can then use the CMake project to implement a more robust VCPKG port.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing MSBuild build system and the repository's library, decoder, and tests. Determine the targets, sources, dependencies, and test commands currently provided by MSBuild. Done means a CMake project can build the library, decoder, and tests, supporting the intended VCPKG port.
