IPv6 support in Clozure CL

[Hans Hübner]

Hello,

are there any plans (or patches) to support IPv6 in Clozure CL's native
socket interface yet? Would a patch in that direction be welcome?

The required changes are relatively minor, but there would need to be some
API additions so that the new protocol family can be selected in socket
related functions. Also, decisions will need to be made with respect to
protocol selection when resolving host names to addresses.

I would be willing to contribute a patch if there is a chance that they'd
be reviewed and accepted into the CCL baseline code.

Any thoughts would be welcome.
