They're on their way. Please note that I no longer maintain libsocket, so
you should direct any reports to libsocket AT yahoogroups DOT com. TIA for any
testing you can do.

Is it worth them developing IPv6 support for Windows '9x? Anyhow, I think
IPv6 for NT & 2000 is just a research project right now - the researchers
certainly wrote an interesting document on how they were developing IPv6
for Windows NT for a Usenix conference.
Even if MS doesn't do native IPv6 support for Windows '9x, there are a
number of ways you can make IPv4 and IPv6 hosts interoperate, so that
should not be a problem. I imagine many hosts will operate in dual stacks
supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 for quite some time.

I know that, but I was hoping someone would furnish me with a simple
explanation or overview - I don't really have time to dig into the Cygwin
sources.
