I need working IPv6 support (for replication) in ibrowse, which is only in 
4.4.1. It's a trivial backport[0] for a single patch, but we have a rather 
bespoke v4.0.1 copy from 2012, not a clone, it's via svn  and it's not friendly 
to rebasing [1]. 

I'm ok to have a crack at this next week, with the end goal of being able to 
rebase future ibrowse releases directly in git, possibly with a minimal 
conversion makefile target.

Any objections to updating it? Has anybody already had a go?

Here's the current non-trivial diff: https://git.io/fA9Ju

Even if you ignore the docs and other build files Bob removed during 4af2d40,  
a number of the genserver states and callbacks have evolved, and the build 
system is now erlang.mk. I have no idea if our  rebar2 will handle that.

If this means we need to tackle bringing our build system up to rebar3 or 
erlang.mk or whatever then I'm happy to plug away on that first.

[1]: I pushed our copy to my skunkwerks/asf branch and github is very annoyed: 
https://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/compare/v4.0.1...skunkwerks:asf and 
rebase dies in a quiet fire.

A+
