Question: should the IPv6 code be included?

I've been working on it for the past few months and it is quite stable 
for me, even on a mixed KDE 2.0 with 2.1 kdelibs environment.

However, that's only for me. I have had no reports whatsoever of anyone 
actually trying my patches, even though I know half a dozen people 
downloaded it (Apache logs). So I don't know how well it works or what 
breaks outside my system.

And the reason I'm asking: the introduction of this new code so deep in 
the library core makes the whole thing alpha stage again, since we rely 
on sockets heavily.

So, my suggestion: the code is integrated into the sources, but it won't 
be enabled by default for 2.2. Or 2.2 beta 1 at least. It would be 
#ifdef'ed out.

Here is a patch against today's CVS:
