I have been planning to remove the separate installation of CMake from the Developers Guide, I've been running this for quite a while now with both VS 2017 and 2019.

For what it's worth, the current "building on Windows" instructions for libpcap:

	https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/blob/master/doc/README.Win32.md

suggest a cmake.org or Chocolatey download if VS 2015 is being used and suggest installing the CMake that comes with VS for later versions.

We also suggest Microsoft's Git-for-Windows for VS 2017 and later.

(This reminds me that I need to update tcpdump's "building on Windows" instructions as well.)
