Chicken IUP Update Bounty

I don't have time to update chicken-iup right now but I need it for several projects. To get chicken-iup updated I'm posting a bounty of US$200.

Outline of steps to update chicken-iup:

  1. Install required software; mingw, fossil, Inno setup
  2. Request full access to the chicken-iup fossil, email me at estiforta @ gmail . com
  3. Clone the fossil
  4. Install chicken scheme
  5. Install ffcall
  6. Install iup libraries
  7. Install all the current eggs that were previously installed, add as many new ones as you wish
  8. Update innodb configime
  9. Compile and make windows installer

I have a comprehensive Makefile for building chicken scheme, iup and a number of eggs in the Megatest repo. This might be a good starting point for building on Windows or for hints on how to build.

Megatest Makefile for building chicken, iup and eggs: Makefile.installall

There is also a Makefile in this repo which captures some of the hints for building on windows. As part of this bounty I'd like that Makefile updated so that running in the future was as easy as copying in new source and running make. However that is not a hard requirement, more of a wish list item.

NOTE: I do not need the absolute latest versions of everything. If there are obstacles for getting a specific version compiled let me know and we can adjust expectations accordingly.
