You mean for "DIUP", or a generic version that would be written in C ?

For QtD, I looked at http://qtcsharp.sourceforge.net but it looked like 
a lot of classes - so a driver for IUP is probably a more doable task...

Know that others expressed interest in a Qt-using GUI library, earlier.

I would prefer GTK+, like MinWin uses, but Qt does *look* good at least.
But it has some licensing issues, in that it's either GPL or Commercial

PS. I did some feeble Carbon hacks on both IUP and MinWin, but got bored
     since it also involved translating all of the old framework headers:
     "CarbonHeaders" - http://dsource.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=68

     For IUP it would mean both writing a "CD" driver for Quartz 2D, as
     well as writing a "IUP" driver using the new HIToolbox functions...
