…ile:///c:/Users/T2430514/Downloads/vcpkg/scripts/bootstrap.sh:0:0-0:0) The `-skipDependencyChecks` option was ineffective: * The flag set `vcpkgSkipDependencyChecks` to `OFF`, identical to its default. * Dependency verification ran only when the variable was `ON`, the opposite of the intended logic. This patch: * Sets `vcpkgSkipDependencyChecks="ON"` when the flag is passed. * Runs prerequisite checks only when `vcpkgSkipDependencyChecks` is **OFF**. Users can now reliably bypass dependency checks, improving bootstrap success on constrained systems. Co-Authored-By: S. M.
