    Description

      As discussed in the CMake API review https://git.qt.io/alcroito/qt6-cmake-api-review/-/blob/master/api_review_qt_6_2.md

      For building a shared Qt, the minimum CMake version required should be 3.16. The same applies to user projects projects using that Qt.

      For building a static Qt, the minimum CMake version required should be 3.20. The same applies to user projects projects using that Qt.

      In the static case, we might raise that to 3.21.0 if the stable CMake version is released before the Qt RC.
