So, it would appear that in /sys/conf/options, we have the following:

INET                    opt_inet.h
INET6                   opt_inet6.h

Which might seem all nice and dandy - except that config will not generate
"opt_inet6.h" with "#undef INET6" if "option INET6" is not present and so
you cannot inlcude "opt_inet6.h" to determine if INET6 is defined.  There
are two possible fixes here - which are not necessarily mutually exclusive
of each other:

1. make config generate opt_inet6.h anyway

2. put INET6 in opt_inet.h

I believe that (2) is quite reasonable but (1) should happen anyway.

Comments ?
