Research direction

Start with ports/sdl3/portfile.cmake at line 48 and the vcpkg install sdl3-mixer reproduction. Read scripts/ports.cmake around the port inclusion path to determine why vcpkg_cmake_configure is unavailable, then verify the fix by rerunning the reported installation on x64-windows.
