I can see now that IPv6 support is in the HEAD branch, I assume it
will be included in some openssl release in the future, therefore there
is no need for the change that I sent. I am sorry I did not notice the
code in HEAD before I sent my original question and original patch.

I have no problems with making changes conditional. The patch can
be changed to a conditional one, I was seeking comment about IPv6 code
_at the moment_, focusing on the IPv6 functionality.

Anyway, the patch for BIO is not needed, please disregard it. I've
submitted another patch, rt #1361, for apps/ part. Again, it is
getaddrinfo-only solution and I'd appreciate your comment about the
code, provided I will make it conditional once the getaddrinfo
code path is okayed.
