I'm fine wih leaving it out. I don't need to build IPv6 at all. It doesn't
work for me, but that's OK.

Could be, but the comment at the top of ws2tcpip.h from my MSVC 6
installation also says

Rev 0.4 Dev 15, 1996

And, no socklen_t, nor NI_MAXHOST. In a shocking move, the comment at the
top of ws2tcpip.h from my MSVC 7 installation says the same thing, but has
both socklen_t and NI_MAXHOST. I love Microsoft.

An alternative might be to use the existence of NI_MAXHOST as a way to
differentiate the two, but I'm really more interested in removing the
WinSock 2.0 dependence. So, if we can agree on the other patches I sent,
maybe I can move forward with figuring out that IPv6 still works with the
changes I made to only depend on WinSock 2.0 for telnet?

Thanks much.
