Summary: Add IPPROTO_IPV6 option to the socketmodule

Initial Comment:
the abovementioned socket option is missing from

python2.2 as well 2.3.



it's needed by nearly all server programs, since i

believe the default behaviour in linux changed between

kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6. the default also currently

varies between operating systems. it controls whether

listening to * on a ipv6 socket also accepts ipv4

connections.
