 But admittedly, I haven't tried it so if you did try this out locally and
 verified that all the .pc files are correct with respect to linking within
 the framework-install and flags and such, then yes we could consider
 enabling it. But my understanding is that there will be more patching
 required..

 Yea you're probably correct, just having those *.px files wasn't enough
 for gnuplot to build with Qt6.
