Hi,

it looks like the patch only changes everything IPv4 specific to IPv6 
specific. This is not recommended way to port IPv4 applications to IPv6 
support, because it wouldn't compile on OSes without IPv6 support and it 
relies on V6V4 socket compatibility, which is considered deprecated and 
potentionally dangerous.

Preferred way should be using protocol-independent interace with 
getaddrinfo library function.

Bye,
Ondrej Caletka
