This patch from Bart Visscher <magick@linux-fan.com> adds
IPV6 support to busybox. This patch does the following: * Add IPv6 support to libbb * Enable IPv6 interface address display * Add IPv6 config option * Adds ping6, an adaptation of the ping applet for IPv6 * Adds support routines for ping6: - xgethostbyname2 - create_icmp6_socket * Adds ifconfig support for IPv6 * Add support IPv6 to netstat * Add IPv6 support to route Thanks Bart!
