	Most of applications that come with OS (ftp/telnet/whatever) are ready.
	Also,
		ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/
		http://www2.kame.net/faq/fom.cgi?file=45
	has tiny list of IPv6-ready applications.  If you can supply patches
	for other applications, it would be really helpful (and I would like
	to merge your patches to KAME kit, and other places).

	Please refer to
		http://www.kame.net/newsletter/19980604/
	and RFC2133/2292 for new library functions.  The point is we MUST
	avoid gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr().  getaddrinfo() and
	getnameinfo() gives much cleaner way to implement name lookups.
