I made a patch using the KAME modifications to add IPv6 to httpd(8) back in
3.3, *but* (and it's a big but) it changes the API!

Unfortunately, there won't be any adding ipv6 without changing the API here.
You're welcome to do this yourself.  It isn't hard, and if you want a
starting point, my patch wouldn't be a horrible place to start, but don't
expect the developers to help, and don't expect it to not break stuff.

The patch is here, in any event:
