IMHO they should have different #ifdef'ing, coming from eg:
  ../configure --enable-ipv6-transport --enable-ipv6-payload
, mainly to ease future debugging, and to motivate wider audience
thinking of:
* different OSes (ipv6-transport builds and (probably)runs in windowze)
* distros like Gentoo, already carrying ipv6-transport, may want to add a
   build option for the payload patch.
* size constraints (embeeded like eg. freetz.org)
* USE_PF_INET6 clearly speaks "transport" in its very name :)
