My suggestion would be to always enable IPv6 support in the userlevel
programs. Then you only need to compile a kernel with INET6 to have
a working IPv6 machine. The same is done with IPX. Ifconfig, netstat
and those programs are always compiled with IPX support even if you
don't have IPX in the kernel.
