USAGI glibc-2.2 has some advanved features such as
	- supporting getaddrinfo API,
	- improving routing header functions,
	- improving getaddrinfo / getnameinfo APIs
	  with scope-id support and
	- catching up with latest internet-draft regarding APIs.

However we provide libinet6 package instead of USAGI glibc patch.
Because it is very dangerous and costly to rebuild glibc, we decide to
provide libinet6 library separating from glibc. So we will recommend
to try our libinet6 package. The libinet6 package will be available
very soon. Please visit our web site, http://www.linux-ipv6.org/

Of course, we continue to merge improvements in libinet6 into
glibc in order to merge our patches into the main trank of glibc.

Thanks.
