I'ts nice to hear, that you are planning to add IPv6 support. :-)

When I read this, it came to my mind, that I did patch enet a while ago for 
adding IPv6 support. We are using it in the space shooter Orxonox[1] since 
then. But I did never manage to submit a proper patch to you, sorry for that.

The code lies in my own git repository[2], which I converted from CVS before 
you started using git. As you are now using git, too, I could easily rebase it 
to your codebase. Just tell me if you are interested, and if I find time I can 
start with the rebasing.

The most important API change was to change the ENetHostAddress to store IPv6-
adresses and store IPv4 adresses internally as "IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses". 
"IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses" are not passed to the operating system, altough 
some OSes would be happy with that, instead separate sockets for IPv4 and IPv6 
were used.

Cheers, Adi
