I've tested with snapshot-20040417

I've tried compiling it on my HP D220 HP-UX 11i system... but it failed
during compilation with:

        gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-uninitialized -I. -I.. -I.
-I./..  -D_HPUX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c xcrypt.c

Does anyone have any pointers on how to get HPUX running with IPv6...
I'm still looking on how to do that.

I'm going to test it on debian on PA-Risc next.
