Hi, folks,

I played with IPv6 a bit. This rude patch below allows daemons to listen
on IPv6 sockets too:

     let sock =
       socket ~domain ~kind:SOCK_STREAM ~protocol:0 in
     setsockopt sock SO_REUSEADDR true;

Config file have to contain something like this:

recon_address: ::
hkp_address: ::

So no tricky port redirections or proxy servers needed. 

Full IPv6 support requires more work. Especially DNS lookups
have to be rewritten. Unfortunately I "don't speak" Caml at all. :)
