The point is still what happens when you distribute a binary built on a
system with ipv6 to a system that doesn't have it.
Anyway. It seems reasonably safe, since I can build with ipv6 on my machine
without the ipv6 driver, and it still works. Dave will have to test if it
actually works on a machine that *has* ipv6 :-)
So. Changes applied.
