Trivially, I don't think getDefaultScopeID needs it's implementation to
be ifdef'ed with MACOSX, at all. Then won't need the 'else return 0;'.
It is just a general utility method to get the value of the defaultIndex
field of NetworkInterace. Yes, the value will be 0 on all platforms
other than Mac, but equally getDefaultScopeID will not be called on any
platform, other than Mac.

Hi,
Before joining multicast groups with IPv6 addresses on Mac OS, the
network interface to be used should also be set correctly. This
change enables using a default network interface on Mac OS X if no
interface
has been specified.

Kurchi - I think you should include an #else return 0; in
getDefaultScopeID as otherwise I will guess you will get warnings when
this code is compiled on other platforms.
