All the changes are in the main branch but one, and that one is a hack-
n-slash to remove any references to QWebKit and QtScript. Both of those
components were removed in Qt6. Once the new web server is committed to
the main branch and the old one removed, it should be possible to build
a qt6 version of main without the hack-n-slash patch.
