	Looking forward to hearing from you,

	All we have to conform for header file placement is two RFCs
	(RFC2133 and RFC2292).  WIDE stack for 2.2.6 is aimed for
	plug-and-play installation so we do want to patch small number
	of files as possible so we have chosen to put those files into
	sys/netinet6.  (of course, we are flexible about this and may try to
	move those into sys/netinet, if there's any significant differences)
