Supporting the little

Hi folks,

Thinking with hopes you re still good over there, it has been a rollercoaster and difficult for some people, hopefully we ll get over it at some point not too far in the future...

Early on and since I am not exactly a Windows expert, I stumbled upon a package manager named vcpkg which honestly does a good job making nice binaries for this platform usually not too obvious to do manually (curl, pcre, openssl, ...). True there is also Conan but I feel it is a step above ... probably some people would disagree tough :-) 

Apart of this, I was mainly involved into bringing better support for Haiku operating system to most of softwares I usually overlook, radare2, afl++, yquake2, doomretro ... most of them are already merged still few awaiting. I have always a little attraction to unusual systems :-) and indeed Haiku is really shining differently than other open source systems.

Finally, after nearly one year, the FreeBSD support for Vulkan Tools had been merged :-)

That is all for now, stay safe et take care folks !
