+Tweak this script to create a conda environment, install the build dependencies, build, and install a development version of `csp` into the environment.

+In Conda, we pull our dependencies from the Conda environment by setting the environment variable `CSP_USE_VCPKG=0`. This will force the build to not pull dependencies from vcpkg. This may or may not work in other environments or with packages provided by other package managers or built from source, but there is too much variability for us to support alternative patterns.
