Sigh. This is getting old.

I'll just link to the build report.

You can now choose: 64-bit QFlags or MSVC 2019. I don't think it's worth 
keeping compatibility with the old moc way of doing things for a now 5-year-
old compiler. More to the point, I refuse to do the work to even attempt to 
work around the issue.
