As I understand, currently, not all systems support all targets: for example, AppImage can only be built on Linux, Windows fused exe can be created on any platform (but macOS and Linux would need Wine to change the icon), macOS app can be created on any platform (unless they need to be signed).

A platform support matrix might be useful. Possibly, lover can also report the supported targets?

I'm currently figuring out the binary format of AppImages and some crates so maybe I won't have to abandon them and they'll be built and parsed natively by Lover.

I updated the TODO list.

Nevermind... The crate I used (backhand) relies on unix modules and it doesn't compile for Windows.

I'm working on a PR that should fix that

Ok everything seems to work on Windows.
Until I finish my PR (it needs some cleanup) and it gets accepted, I'll use a submodule with my fork of backhand.
