    55I checked in these partial Qt 6 fixes to allow work on the Mac ARM64 port using Qt 6.2 since Qt 5 is not available for ARM64.

    7 To install PyQt 6 I added prereqs/PyQt/Makefile.pypi_qt6.  It an be used by changing the prereqs/PyQt/Makefile METHOD variable from wheel to pypi_qt6.  There are also app-uninstall-qt5 and app-uninstall-qt6 targets in Makefile.pypi_qt6.  Although both PyQt5 and PyQt6 can be installed at the same time some tools (like the Shell / qtconsole) may directly use PyQt5 instead of our Qt shim so it is best to uninstall PyQt5 otherwise those tools may crash when attempting to use PyQt5 because there is no PyQt5 application running.
