No once considered it before your message arrived.

Two thoughts:

- I don't know of any developers running on an IPv6-enabled machine.
It's hard to test patches if we can't run the code.

- If we can find someone who can test the IPv6 pathces, that person
can submit them using the SourceForge patch manager.
