It is mostly "machine work / search replace" needed I think, to adopt
some new structures to be ipv6 aware. The biggest change relevant to
ipv6 is in that the tosaddracl patch has been merged into Squid, and all
of that added code is quite IPv4 centric in how it manages addresses,
but does not actaully use the addresses for anything else than storage
and passing down to the networking code..

2.4.STABLE1. Not something we are remotely even interested of providing
an ipv6 patch for.

Anyway, the current situaion is that the sourceforge ipv6 patch should
now apply fine to Squid-HEAD. But the result can't be built as there is
some new pieces not yet IPv6 aware plus and some old ones that hasn't
been ported yet (WCCP, linux-netfilter, possibly more)
