[Quantlib-users] Updated vcpkg to v1.24

[Jonathan S. <sw...@gm...>]

Hello QuantLib users,

In case there are any other vcpkg users out there, heads up that I have
submitted a pull request[1] to update QuantLib from v1.22 to v1.24.

I have also enabled the option to build QuantLib as a shared library on
Linux through vcpkg, which has been disabled until now for some reason. In
case the lack of shared library support on Linux has prevented anyone from
using vcpkg, you might want to try again once this change is merged. (Note
that in order to build as a shared library on Linux with vcpkg you need to
define a new triplet by following the instructions in [2]).

On Windows, still only static linkage is supported, both in vcpkg and in
QuantLib's CMake build settings.
