[Feature] Optional openmw-launcher.exe build against qt5
Hello. First of all, congratulations on the OpenMW 0.49-RC release!
This is not exactly a bug report, but a feature request. It would be great to have openmw-launcher.exe built against qt5, so users that still use Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 can use the launcher, much like what we are seeing in FreeCiv (they are releasing a version of FreeCiv-qt built on qt6 and another one built on qt5).
I know Windows 8.1 and older are legacy OS, but either due security concerns or Hardware limitations, there are still people that are using them (me including).
