Hi Stig (the other one),
I would like to end up with a "definitive" hostconnect call - something like a blend
between the fsockopen code in fsock.c and php_hostconnect in network.c
If you could make me aware of any gotchas I should look out for while coming up with
the code, I would appreciate it!

Since I don't know of or have access to a network running IPv6 (or I'm too isolated
from the real world to have realized how to do it ;-), I'm not sure just how important
it is.
The perfectionist in me would like to see it in PHP; I have no problems running PHP
without having IPv6 configured, and if the people that ARE having problems are using
bad implementations/configurations, it should really be down to them to fix them.
What kind of problems are showing up in the bug DB?
Any idea how many people are using IPv6?
Are the problems apparent on systems with IPv6 support (in the libs and headers), but
not yet configured?
We might be able to get away with a note in the installation instructions about using
IPv6 and how to resolve simple issues, or advise to upgrade, as appropriate?
