WHAT: change the IPv6 configuration option to enable IPv6 if and only

At configure or run-time?
I [marginally] prefer a run-time determination. E.g., if we can
test at run-time "ipv6 wasn't specifically requested, so try to open
an ipv6 socket, and if it fails, just silently ignore it and disable
ipv6 support" and "ipv6 was specifically requested, so try to open
an ipv6 socket; if it fails, error".
But I'm not going to be the one coding this, so I'd also be happy
with changing the configure-time option default. I just thought I'd
throw out that request... :-)
If we have a volunteer to code and maintain it, then I don't care.
Unfortunately, we don't appear to have anyone interested in
maintaining the overall ipv6 support, so my proposal is to turn it off
at configure time.
