Drafting due to build failures.

GPT-5.5 observes that this update does not build on Windows because libarchive 3.8.8 now references BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider, BCryptGenRandom, and BCryptCloseAlgorithmProvider from core objects while the vcpkg port still configures -DENABLE_CNG=OFF, so bcrypt.lib is not linked. Local libarchive[core]:x64-windows and the Azure Windows legs fail with unresolved BCrypt* symbols.

[...]

This is introduced by the version update because the PR moves to 3.8.8, whose release notes include “windows: remove support for WinCrypt” and the new core code path now requires CNG linkage on Windows.

Seems like we should force ENABLE_CNG on Windows?
