looks good, I've applied the patch and pushed the change to the
repository. I'll pack a new tarball soonish..

Naw, it's okay as it is.. The ICMPv6 type codes cannot change, so this
is a safe fallback ;) Besides, how could I possibly ask anyone to spend
more time on AIX as absolutely necessary? ;)

Nice to know that that was the only problem, though :)

Just because I used to do it the same way until a colleague showd me the
-r switch: At least the GNU version of `grep ' understand the
_r_ecursive flag. It's the most useful tool when searching in header
files :)

There are still platforms without IPv6 support? I'm mildly shocked..
Even our friends with their colorfull OS support IPv6.. Both of em,
now that I come to think of it ;)

Anyway, sure.. My favorite way would be if the configure script could
check for IPv[46] and set the default of `--enable-ipv4' or
`--enable-ipv6' to `disabled' if either one is not available..

Regards and thanks again for your patch :)
