I also had trouble with the Makefiles. There's a CMake script I found
somewhere that helped me get it built for Windows. At some later
point, I would be interested in using it for all the platforms.

Anyway, one simple task I think I would benefit from is if I could get
screenshots of all the IUP tests on the different backends so I have a
reference to compare to. Booting up and building the other platforms
is kind of a pain.
