Though I'm very happy to try a joint effort, I think it is a
"hard one". There's no standardized way of dealing with bunch of
details of IPv6. WIDE/INRIA/NRL/others are quite different from
each other. (believe me I ported INRIA/NRL from *BSD to *BSD several
times, for some snapshots)
Just imagine the differences in {Net,Free,Open}BSD{/OS} sys/net{,inet}
code, and imagine why they can't be the same. You'll see what I'm
saying.
For WIDE IPv6/IPsec code:
We're going to work on WIDE IPv6 stack in a full-time manner,
so we'll be able to release WIDE IPv6/IPsec for FreeBSD 3.0
(maybe SNAP-98xxxx) in some weeks, hopefully.
ftp://ftp.itojun.org/pub/ipv6 has weekly snapshot, as always.
