Windows package-manager for C++ libraries

I've been working on various open-source projects, which involve the following C++ libraries (& others):

  • MuPDF
  • Boost
  • FreeType
  • GTKmm
  • hummus PDF libraries
  • LibTiff
  • LibXML2
  • Wt xpdf
  • xpdf
  • Poppler
  • ZLib

It often takes a long time to configure these libraries, when setting them up on a clean machine. Is there a way to automate the grabbing of all dependencies on a windows machine?

The closest I've found is CMake, which checks to make sure you have the dependencies installed/extracted before generating your project files. But I haven't found anything for Windows which can parse the list of dependencies and then download+install the required versions.

Please recommend a package manager for Windows with up-to-date C++ libraries.

There is no package management on Windows. On Windows developers typically use full-blown everything-and-the-kitchen-sink development environments and produce monolithic applications themselves, shipped with all dependencies.
