Conan package

Hello,
It would be very nice to have Conan package for imgui_test_engine as there already exists package for imgui itself.
ImGui Conan package issue (ocornut/imgui#1469)
ImGui package in Conan center (https://conan.io/center/recipes/imgui)
ImGui package recipe (https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/tree/master/recipes/imgui)
I find Conan very convenient tool for managing library dependencies. Fresh checkout can be easily build from scratch in fresh environment. Only requirements are that Conan + build tools are installed. Conan will automatically resolve package dependencies and load required packages into local machine.
Below are code pieces from my project using Conan+CMake for adding ImGui into project:
`
conanfile.py
def requirements(self):
self.requires("imgui/cci.20230105+1.89.2.docking")
CMakeLists.txt
# find libraries
find_package(imgui QUIET CONFIG)
# link libraries
target_link_libraries(${TARGET} PRIVATE imgui::imgui)
main.cpp
#include "imgui.h"
ImGui::CreateContext();
`
I don’t see reason for the package to be hosted and maintained by us? Why not creating a conan imgui repository with that stuff ?

You are right about hosting and maintaining. I created issuen conan-center repository (conan-io/conan-center-index#20552)
Recipe would be hosted in conan-io/conan-center-index/tree/master/recipes. Creating and maintaining the recipe would require some effort. I could try to look if I can create the initial recipe.
If/when the Conan-recipe is added, it could be mentioned in wiki/Setting-Up
Closing this.
