CMake 3.24 introduced the concept of Dependency Providers. It seems like a more standard and less intrusive way to inject dependencies that doesn't require hunter_add_package(). I was wondering what are the developers' thoughts on that feature and potentially offering a Hunter dependency provider to streamline Hunter usage in a CMake project with dependencies.

I'd be interested in it. This could replace the need for most of our hunterized forks (if I understand correctly). Which is very desirable

At least #422 tries to eliminate hunterized forks as well, but using the patch mechanism
