Possibly, this is the route I would prefer to take.

Just to be clear - I _do_ want our port of OpenSSH to be IPv6 capable,
just not for the 1.2.1.0 release. I feel that getting this working
cross-platform would take too long. As always, I would be happy to be
proved wrong :)

Another complication is that I don't have IPv6 up yet to perform 
testing, this is still a couple of weekends away for me.

Regards,
Damien
