Not in the still current 1.5.25.  The next major release 1.7 provides
fallback code for systems not supporting them (pre-XP).  That code
also checks for an AF_INET6 request and refuses it with EAI_FAMILY.
Hopefully the WinSock call starting with XP will do the same if the
IPv6 stack isn't activated.  Actually I never tried :}
