   Hello Paul!

    As ipv6 support is listed in the facillities, I was under the impression,   
    that there would be a compiler option. Moreover, because there are also   
    versions for OS's that do not support ipv6.   
      
    This is all I could find.   
      
           Add IPv6 support - default if building system supports RFC2553   
           API, except under Win32 where it needs to be enabled explicitly   
           (set IPV6=1 during make). Under Win32 at least WinXP SP2 is   
           required. Outbound IPv4 or IPv6 usage can be limited by using   
           -4 or -6 node parameters respectively.   
      
    But why would you want to remove the ipv6 support on a linux system.   
    There are other ways to disable IPv6 in Linux alltogether.   
      
    I would have to look for those. I do use IPV6, so disabling it is unknown   
    territory for me.
