Subject: Re: pkg/29011: Default build of wget 1.9.1nb3 (with inet6) doesn't
 work on non inet6 connexions.

 FYI:  wget picks up the inet6 option from the USE_INET6 variable.
 i.e. If USE_INET6 is set to YES (as is done by default on platforms that 
 support IPv6) then inet6 gets globally added as a default option for all 
 packages that use the options.mk framework.  As such,  I understand what 
 your issue is, but I don't think it's wget specific as all packages that 
 can support both ipv4 and ipv6 may exhibit similiar issues.
 
 You could set USE_INET6=NO in /etc/mk.conf to stop this behaviour then 
 ipv6 support would not be enabled for any built packages that directly 
 or indirectly reference these variables.
 
 HTH,
