Could you mention what is the rationale in the commit message?  Is the
QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH environment variable problematic is some ways
(perhaps mixing Qt5 and Qt6 qtwebengine?).

Shouldn't we keep the native-search-path for it?  Perhaps not all
software are patched yet, and it shouldn't hurt?  Or would it defeat the
aim of this series?
