Windows XP with service pack 1 includes a production quality version of
IPv6. There is IPv6 support before sp1, but it is not considered
production quality. See:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...mplementations

There is a Windows 2000 'technology preview' but it is not considered
production by Microsoft. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/...orm/tpipv6.asp

The README.win32 file states that Windows 98 or higher is needed for
IPv6, but I don't think there is a Windows 98 IPv6 implementation from
Microsoft. If I am wrong, please let me know. The README.win32 file
should be updated.

I can create another Windows binary with IPv6 support and we can post
both of them. Any objections to having two Windows binaries?

I would also like to have OpenSSL support in the binary as there is a
pre-compiled OpenSSL DLL available (so we will not have to include it
with our binary). This would mean we would need FOUR binaries..
