IPv6 Support

   As of 7/29/2002 EPIC fully supports IPv6 in server descriptions, 
   server connections, $connect(), $listen(), /DCC GET, Virtual 
   Hostnames, $iptoname().


Server descriptions:
   Surround the ipv6 p-addr with square brackets:
     /server [1:2::3]:...

Server connections:
   You can now connect to servers via IPv6!

Changed functions:
   $connect(<host> <port> <family>)
     where <family> is "4", "6", "v4" or "v6" and <family> is optional.

   $listen(<port> <family>)
     where <family> is "4", "6", "v4" or "v6" and <family> is optional.

   $iptoname(<p-addr>)
     Both IPv4 and IPv6 "p-addrs" (ie, A.B.C.D or A::B:C) are now supported.


Virtual Hostnames:
   If the hostname that you choose as your virtual hostname has an IPv6
   address, then that IPv6 address will be used as your virtual host if 
   you connect to a server via IPv6.


DCC:
   /DCC GET
     If you receive a DCC SEND handshake from someone else and it uses an 
     IPv6 hostname, you will be able to /DCC GET that file.  This is forward
     compatability. Nobody can do /DCC SEND via IPv6 yet.
