Does the label reflect the compiler used?  (I know 2019 and 2022 are binary 
compatible.)

I haven't bothered to build the most recent 5.15.x open source version, but 
back at 5.15.10, qtwebengine builds would get compile errors with VC2022.  
It was just a few #includes needed in a few routines, but painful given how 
many hours the build would require.

All source code I've needed to work on recently is now on Qt6 and 2022, so 
I guess I personally don't care if you drop 2019.
