>Description:
	I made net/6tunnel package.

6tunnel allows you to use services provided by IPv6  hosts with IPv4-only
applications and vice-versa. It can bind to any of your IPv4 (default) or
IPv6 addresses  and  forward all data to IPv4 or IPv6 (default) host.

6tunnel can also be used as a tunnel for all other  combinations of IPv4 and
IPv6 endpoints. If remote host doesn't have any IPv6 addresses, 6tunnel will
use the IPv4 one. In other cases, use -4 parameter which makes IPv4 address
the preffered one. For IPv6-to-any tunnels use -6 which  makes 6tunnel bind
to IPv6 address.

Just run "6tunnel 9000 eu.irc6.net 6667" and you're able to IRC via IPv6
using IPv4-only client! :) (of course it isn't the only purpose of 6tunnel)

	I can't test it on IPv4-only system (like pre-1.5) because all my
	boxes are IPv6-ready ;-)
