IPv6 is insluded in WinXP (and Windows Server 2003). An add-on is available
for Win2K. I figured that the inclusion of this wouldn't hurt for other
OSes if no one tried to use this stuff.
Looking at the developer documentation, though, it looks like there is
more to this than meets the eye.
My networking tests run okay on Win2K and WinXP with this turned on. I'm
thinking it might be safer to turn this off for 3.4, though, or else write
a simple IPv6 test and, if it works, rationalize that like for channels,
this new stuff wouldn't have to be perfect.
