IPv6 support in OpenBSD CVS

A couple of days ago, Markus Friedl merged IPv6 support into the
OpenBSD CVS tree. This is a welcome addition, but it presents a few
potential problems for the port.

The main problem is the lack IPv6 support in most Unices. OpenBSD has
it, as do recent versions of NetBSD (presumably), Solaris and Linux
but others may not.

This could be worked around by liberal use of #ifdefs through the
code, but this is something that I am loathe to do. One of my goals
has been to keep the _source_ differences as small as possible between
the OpenBSD source and my own.

For the short term I propose not to merge the IPv6 updates from the
OpenBSD tree, but to continue to pick up other changes. 

Comments?
