AI_ALL and AI_V4MAPPED are getaddrinfo flags that should be used in
ipv6-enabled clients when the system does not support AI_ADDRCONFIG.
those flags tell getaddrinfo to return both the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses (as
IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses) of a given host (see RFC3493).
they are useful only if your program does not handle AF_INET sockets, but only
AF_INET6 sockets.
i don't think they are needed by wget, so the autoconf macros that test AI_ALL
and AI_V4MAPPED can be safely removed, IMVHO.
