Actually *ALL* the KAME userland tools are dual stack ready.
KAME userland tools are installed into, say, /usr/local/v6/bin/ftp,
You can perform BOTH IPv4/v6 imply adding search path to
/usr/local/v6/{bin,sbin,whatever}.
ftp host.v4.freebsd.org makes IPv4 ftp,
ftp host.v4.freebsd.org makes IPv6 ftp.
If our document is silent about this, we'll add more comments into
documents.
(We feared to surprise people by tiny differences in /usr/bin/ftp
and /usr/local/v6/bin/ftp, and we have chosen to install userland
tools into /usr/local/v6)
