getaddrinfo("host", ...) always asks for AAAA and A records - it has
to.

There was proposition of AI_ADDRCONFIG flag that would do lookup
only for locally supported protocol. getaddrinfo in USAGI supports it
(by checking return value of socket(familly,...)) , in cvs version
of glibc there is no such support.

Anyway even introducing it won't fix anything. (Almost) each application
that can use AI_ADDRCONFIG needs to be ,,fixed'' (note that sometimes
AI_ADDRCONFIG is not desired even when local system doesn't support
ipv6 (or any other) protocol).
