Description
Describe your issue
If you install libigl via vcpkg with imgui + opengl and also install imgui with glfw-binding, it can't find backends/imgui_impl_glfw.h.
vcpkg just installs this in the regular include path and doesn't need to be in the "backends" folder.
libigl should probably do it the vcpkg way and just use #include <imgui_impl_glfw.h> and include the backends folder directly for test projects.

Research direction
Start by locating libigl's imgui/OpenGL integration includes and the test projects that use them, then compare them with the headers installed by vcpkg. Verify that a vcpkg installation of libigl with imgui, OpenGL, and the GLFW binding compiles successfully, including the test projects.
