I am in favour of this as well. I have long thought it odd that the IPv6
transport is handled differently from all the other ones in that it needs
an extra option.
I thus propose that --enable-ipv6:
a) Becomes deprecated, so it should write a warning suggesting that the user
should add the IPv6 transports to --with-transports.
b) Prepends "TCPIPv6 UDPIPv6" to transport_default_list (happens today)
As a side note today it also enables:
* On mingw: Tells the compiler that the target OS is WinXP (??? I do not know
why...)
* Checks for IPv6 stack flavour. These would always run if the idea is
accepted, so they would need to be tweaked to not make configure fail if
no stack is found.
As a second, more daring, proposal I also think we should add TCPIPv6 and
UDPIPv6 to the transport_default_list for all builds. If someone dislikes
that then that is what --with-out-transports is for.
