Windows operating systems older than Windows 7 have been out of support for several years and will not be supported by Gridcoin from this release forwards.

See bitcoin/bitcoin#14922, bitcoin/bitcoin#18956, bitcoin/bitcoin@3d5d7aa

gridcoinresearch.pro#L10,15 should be updated as well. Could you also move WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN and _WIN32_IE to configure.ac?

I can do that, but we haven't been updating gridcoinresearch.pro in a while. I keep my own local version (not in git) because the original is so bad. I don't think you can actually build from that with Qt. I only get the .pro file straightened out enough to have the editor be able to parse correctly, and I replace the qmake based build steps with the autotools ones....

Noone is supposed to be building the application with the Qt build system. That is not supported.

On the Win32 lean and mean stuff, I do not want to tinker around too much more with this prior to the 5.3.2.0 release. We are really supposed to be in a freeze, because we are in RC territory. This PR is to correct corner-case bad behavior on old operating systems. Unless you are saying we need to do that now, I would like to put that in a separate PR for Janice. (You can submit if you have time.)
