title: Are there any efforts to create a package manager for C++?
body: <p>One of my biggest frustrations with my favorite language is the effort it takes to get different libraries working for together under one unified development environment.  My biggest wish is to just be able to tell my IDE, or whatever, that I need a certain library, and it takes care of downloading it, compiling it(if necessary), installing it, then setting up the include and library paths.</p>
  
  <p>What I want is <a href="http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/27077b70-9dad-4c64-adcf-c7cf6bc9970c">this</a>, but for C++.  I would prefer if it works with Visual Studio, but gcc is okay too.  Or if it is it's own separate system, that's fine too.  It does, however, have to work in Windows.</p>
  
  <p>What promising projects are out there to solve this problem?</p>
