Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Visual Studio can have multiple Windows SDKs installed and I don't always want to use the newest one.

Proposed solution

Something akin to VCPKG_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_VERSION but for the Windows SDK. VCPKG_PLATFORM_SDK_VERSION?
It seems like the SDK version is pretty much the only thing left to pass to vcvarsall.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Still looking for workarounds
