We could also just add 2 and -2 to IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU to indicate the
forced addition of a Fragment header in addition to limiting the
mtu size.  This should not break existing applications and support
would be detectable at run time.  Try with 2 (or -2) and if that
fails use 1 (or -1).

I'll add this to the next I-D.
