I got my hands on an older snapshot and also tried the current one with
the Qt version check removed - but whatever I do, I get:

  sip-build: 'sip-module' must be set

https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download mentions:
"To build the sip module for PyQt6, run: sip-module --project PyQt6.sip"
but that doesn't actually work.

Assuming that it should actually say "sip-module --project PyQt6-sip
PyQt6.sip", that doesn't show an error, but also doesn't seem to do
anything. I've tried running with --sdist and installing the resulting
sdist, but sip-build still gives me the same error. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Florian
