The project uses version 1.8.0 of Devil. This version causes an issue with the guild icon. Devil 1.7.8 is not available in the vcpkg repository. What should we do?

Hey, this is also an issue with the server and something I've given a lot of thought about. I think we'll probably have to include a 1.7.8 version somehow. The preferred way would be to create a custom DevIL vcpkg package, like described here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/concepts/overlay-ports

This way, we could have a custom git repository containing DevIL for both the server and client. This means we won't pollute the repository with yet another dependency.

Another way we could approach this (maybe in the future) would be to simply find a replacement for DevIL.
