You should not have to touch the HAVE_IPV6 code --- if you think you
do, you're misunderstanding the problem.  The IPV6 code was designed
to work even if the local kernel does not understand IPV6 (of course
you don't actually get any IPV6 connectivity, but nothing breaks).
It should be possible to handle Windows the same way.

Considering that this is a new feature that we didn't have in 8.0,
anything more than a very localized tweak is not going to be accepted
for 8.1.
