Hi, You can't easily replace install_deps.sh easily with those CMake based scripts. It is a requirement to use as much as possible packages from main repository.
As for where to put the files, i don't see a reason to make it additional folder in build_files, this is what build_environment folder there was supposed to be used for. But then, i don't think regular users should ever bother with those precompiled libraries. From this point of view, adding those scripts to a blender-dev-tools repo (which is a submodule to source/tools) seems more reasonable to me.
