using vcpkg to install tesseract (4.1.0 vs 5.0.0)

[Teddy Zzang]

Hi team,

I'm currently using "vcpkg install" method to compile tesseract.

It seems to download "https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/archive/4.1.0.tar.gz" and compile.

Is it possible to pull from the latest master branch?

Use the --head option. I learned this from this forum ;)

E.g. 

vcpkg install tesseract:x64-windows --head

Thanks for suggestion.

However, it's still not fetching the latest master branch with --head option.

I ended up tweaking some cmake files to get it to work.
