[usocket-devel] IPv6 support in usocket

[Chun Tian (binghe)]

Hi Jan!

Thank you for your patch! I'm going to convert it into loadable patch for most of recent SBCL versions and ship with usocket. Once it's good enough and proved to work, I'll send them  to SBCL dev team and let them to consider if IPv6 should be supported officially.

The purpose is to make unmodified SBCL/CCL working directly with my patches to get the ability to support IPv6 with their exist interfaces. Platforms with such modifications should have :usocket-ipv6 in their *features*.
