[Unison-hackers] ipv6 support

[Benjamin Pierce]

Thanks, Samuel.

I think the easiest way to give people a chance to look at the new  
functionality is just to merge it into the current developer  
version.  (If there are problems, we can back out the change.)  I  
have just done so in my working version, which I will commit to the  
subversion repository shortly.

Regards,

     Benjamin
