* Another pass at making more platfrom neutral

* two additional fixes

* [osx] Ignore .DS_Store file. Fixes #3306

* Remove noexcept from BinaryParagraph()

# Vcpkg <a href="#">![](https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/build/definitions/0bdbc590-a062-4c3f-b0f6-9383f67865ee/8476/badge)</a>
## Overview
Vcpkg helps you get C and C++ libraries on Windows. This tool and ecosystem are currently in a preview state; your involvement is vital to its success.
Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are currently in a preview state; your involvement is vital to its success!
For short description of available commands, run `vcpkg help`.
## Quick Start
Prerequisites:
- Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Linux, or OSX
- Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Linux, or MacOS
- Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (on Windows)
- Git
- *Optional: CMake 3.10.2*
Clone this repository, then run
To get started:
```
C:\src\vcpkg> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
> git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
> cd vcpkg
PS> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
Ubuntu:~/$ ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
```
Then, to hook up user-wide integration, run (note: requires admin on first use)
```
C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg integrate install
PS> .\vcpkg integrate install
Ubuntu:~/$ ./vcpkg integrate install
```
Install any packages with
```
C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg install sdl2 curl
PS> .\vcpkg install sdl2 curl
Ubuntu:~/$ ./vcpkg install sdl2 curl
```
Finally, create a New Project (or open an existing one) in Visual Studio 2017 or 2015. All installed libraries are immediately ready to be `#include`'d and used in your project.
The best way to use installed libraries with cmake is via the toolchain file `scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake`. To use this file, you simply need to add it onto your CMake command line as `-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:\src\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake`.
The best way to use installed libraries with CMake is via the toolchain file `scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake`. To use this file, you simply need to add it onto your CMake command line as `-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[vcpkg root]\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake`.
In Visual Studio, you can create a New Project (or open an existing one). All installed libraries are immediately ready to be `#include`'d and used in your project without additional configuration.
For more information, see our [using a package](docs/examples/using-sqlite.md) example for the specifics.
Additional notes on macOS and Linux support can be found in the [official announcement](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2018/04/24/announcing-a-single-c-library-manager-for-linux-macos-and-windows-vcpkg/).
