[feature] vcpkg install package to certain folder

[xiaoyifang]

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

I currently work with qmake , vcpkg does not work easily with qmake . I'd like a feature to install the package to certain folders ,so I can include them in the qmake project file.

Proposed solution

vcpkg install zlib:x64-windows --dest-dir=xxxxx

Describe alternatives you've considered

vcpkg export without generate random folder name should also be ok.

Additional context

this is not what I expect , when used this option ,there will be an extra triplet folder in the install-root. I do not want this extra triplet folder.

The triplet folders are needed to separate the host installation from the target installation.

Doesn't qmake allow you to configure the locations where to find dependencies?
