Reasonably advanced.  Actually, the main stumbling block in deploying IPv6 
"for real" is likely to be that glibc 2.1 doesn't support all of the new APIs 
needed for IPv6 -- there is no getipnodebyname(), for example, and 
sin6_scope_id is missing.  Most of these deficiencies have been fixed in glibc 
2.2 though obviously more volunteers are always welcome to help.
