I just looked at libcurl's latest build files for Windows.  It appears like we 
can now build it so that it'll support IPv6 with VS2005.  It also looks like 
they upped their prereq to Winsock 2.x.

After the initial release of 7.0.x we will have to give this another go.

BOINC doesn't have or need any support for IPv6 in project requests, that's 
handled transparently by libcurl. The question is if the precompiled libcurl we 
ship with the BOINC binaries for the various platforms has IPv6 enabled; I 
vaguely remember it did differ between platforms.

In the BOINC packages shipped by Linux distributions, which use the system's 
libcurl, this is a non-issue.
