the inet_net_pton implementation that was brought in from BIND had its
IPv6 portions scrubbed.  micro-over-optimization of the contributed
"bitncmp" caused the "ipv4 as int" assumption to reoccur.  i'm going to
have to put it back to BIND-standard as much as possible.  presumably
as long as the on-disk format is compatible (such that old databases can
be both read and written by the new code) none of that will be objectionable.

thanks for the invitation, i'll start work on it right now.
