well, now i wish we hadn't gutted the ipv6 support

my original CIDR type implementation used BIND's inet_ntop() and inet_pton()
which therefore included latent support for ipv6. it wouldn't take a huge
amount of effort to bring this back, would it?

(the user below is using VARCHAR for his ip addresses for this reason.)
