You probably don't want to do this.  Most (all?) IPv6 implementations
special-case IPv4-mapped addresses and may not let such addresses be
assigned to native interfaces or added to the routing table.  
IPv4-compatible addresses are likely to be obsoleted soon, as they aren't 
as useful as everyone thought they would be.  -Nathan
