That's there for the benefit of OSes whose APIs don't have standard IPv6
support; if there are any left that we care about (or if there are old non-IPv6
versions we care about for any OSes we support), then it might be useful, but
I'm not sure it would build (we use gethostbyaddr(), so *maybe* it'll compile,
and maybe gethostbyaddr() will fail when passed AF_INET6 and the code will just
show the IPv6 address rather than a name).
Should we care about it, or should we just drop support for OSes lacking native
IPv6 support in 5.0?
