I don't strictly want to drop this code. If we can find a way to compile
this code on Windows, that would be great. I don't know how to do this
myself. Every webpage I found on this issue turns to "not work for me".
Magnus and you will probably do a better job on this than myself. Do one
of you want to work on this? it doesn't have to be done right now, but I
would like to see it fixed for 1.12.

BTW, I tried to find something like this on wxWidgets. Unfortunately,
wxIPv6Address is in alpha stage, so I don't think we want to use that :)
