Plans for IPv6 support on windows?

I had a look at this just now.
It's possible to configure better* IPv6 support on windows by editing the
config.h.mingw to include

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
#endif

and uncomment the line
#define HAVE_GETADDRINFO 1

I've built a new libpurple.dll that you can try with at
http://eion.robbmob.com/libpurple-2.10.1-ipv6.zip

The caveat is that I haven't tested it as I don't have an IPv6 connection
here at home.  Would appreciate some feedback. :)

Cheers,
Eion
