Our fork of libcommuni wasn't meant to be distributed - we've made lazy 
decisions to make it work for us in particular.

The worthwhile changes we've made are related to building on later 
versions of Qt6. Since Qt 6.4, QTextCodec is no longer a valid header so 
it fails to compile without adding the Qt 5 Core Compatability APIs [1] 
to the build settings. Since we don't use that API, we ripped that out 
instead. I believe this PR [2] contains the minimally required patch for 
us to be able to use the system version of libcommuni when building with 
Qt6.
