Yeah, good point.  I've checked in an improved version of the test based
on your suggestions (which I finally got around to looking at in depth).

My patch leaves out the IPv6 logic if INET6 is not configured into rsync.

Yes, my only concern was with the portability of gai_strerror(), but
when I had a chance to finally look into this, I noticed that we already
supply a compatibility function for gai_strerror() -- thus, I was
concerned over nothing.

I've checked-in the appended patch.  See if you like it.
