    Description

      Build requirements are somewhat unclear for qtwebengine:

      a) For x86: Configure is successful but building fails due to a 3rd party dependency (perfetto) using x64 intrinsics. Are x86 builds supported or not?

      b) arm64 windows: Fails to configure with a message saying: "QtWebEngine won't be built. Build can be done only on Linux, Windows or macOS." Since I am on Windows this is misleading. Is arm64-windows supported or not?

      Also I would really like to see configure FAIL if nothing will be build due to platform or other constrains. It is a real annoyance that everything seems to work at first glance but if you check /include  it didn't install anything.
