It occurred to me that the 1.10 NEWS file declares IPv6 to be
supported.  However, as far as I know, IPv6 doesn't work under
Windows.

Though it seems that Winsock 2 (which mswindows.h is apparently trying
to support) implements IPv6, I have a nagging suspicion that just
including <winsock2.h> and defining HAVE_GETADDRINFO and ENABLE_IPV6
won't be enough[1].  So what does it take to support IPv6 under
Windows?

If this is not possible in the 1.10 time frame, we should probably
note in NEWS that IPv6 is still not supported under Windows.

On the other hand, the 1.7 patch available at
http://win6.jp/Wget/wget-1.7-win32-v6-20010716a-2.zip suggests exactly
that.
