[Interest] Qt6 porting guidance: (MSDEV) QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += /source-charset

[David M. Cotter]

my code in MANY places assumes that the charset is macRoman, and converts from macRoman to unicode.
i'd have to change all those places, and there is no easy way to find them all.
it's just a lot of work i don't want to do right now
