Absolutely.  I would much rather get an intelligent error message stating
that ipv6 addresses are not supported, versus a misleading one about the
host not being found.  That would save end-users a whole lot of wasted time.

I'm starting to think that Wget should reject all "[...]" addresses
when IPv6 is not compiled in because they, being valid IPv6 addresses,
have no chance of ever working.  What do you think?
