getaddrinfo is supported as of 2000.  inet_pton is supported in Vista and
later.

A couple of years ago we started using IPV6-compatible network APIs
such as inet_pton() and getaddrinfo().
However, we don't use these on Windows because they're not in XP.
Also, the client doesn't currently create an IPV6 listening socket
for GUI RPCs.

So GUI RPCs over IPV6 is feasible but would take a bit of work.
