winitplatform::handle_event doesn't use current winit events

[rchiaramo]

To the best of my knowledge (which admittedly is not much), the current way that winit does event_loop processing doesn't provide an &Event<_> that can be sent to winit::platform::handle_event. Therefore, I can't implement step 3 in the 5 steps that have to be completed...
"3. Pass events to the platform (every frame) with [WinitPlatform::handle_event]."

Edit:

Ok...so after posting this, I came up with a solution to my issue. winit::platform::handle_event just takes the enum Event value and looks for a WindowEvent, which it then passes on to a private function handle_window_event.

So I solved my issue with the following code, located at the end of the match statement in the winit::ApplicationHandler function window_event: (gui.platform is my variable for a WinitPlatform)

_ => {
let generic_event: winit::event::Event = winit::event::Event::WindowEvent {
window_id,
event,
};
gui.platform.handle_event(gui.imgui.io_mut(), &window, &generic_event);
window.request_redraw();
},

And this works.

So two possible fixes to this issue (if it's deemed an issue) would be:

1. change the example code to reflect the fact that the generic_event needs to be created explicitly
2. make WinitPlatform::handle_window_event public so that the event can be passed straight through

Edit #2:
I see now that this issue is exactly what the only open pull request is looking to achieve...sorry about that, I'm still learning!

Also for others who are stumbling upon this, I used the following workaround to get it working.
Put

imgui-winit-support = {git = "https://github.com/christat/imgui-winit-support.git", version = "0.13.0"}

into your cargo toml file and you will get the fixes from the PR #4.
