In addition, we shouldn't use _OPSYS_HAS_INET6.  Variables beginning
with a '_' are ``private'' pkgsrc variables that shouldn't be necessar
outside of the .mk files.

Looking at this, it seems that we are not quite conclusive in
mk/bsd.prefs.mk:

,----[ around line #296 ]
| # if the system is IPv6-ready, compile with IPv6 support turned on.
| .if defined(USE_INET6)
| .  if empty(USE_INET6:M[Yy][Ee][Ss]) || defined(USE_SOCKS)
| USE_INET6=3D              NO
| .  else
| USE_INET6=3D              YES
| .  endif
| .elif empty(_OPSYS_HAS_INET6:M[nN][oO]) && !defined(USE_SOCKS)
| USE_INET6=3D              YES
| .else
| USE_INET6=3D              NO
| .endif
`----

The first conditional doesn't seem right to me:  if USE_INET6 is already
defined, then we should not re-define it, but leave it alone.  Even
assuming that there is a good reason to overwrite (and not use
'USE_INET6?=3D'), the above could be simplified to


# if the system is IPv6-ready, compile with IPv6 support turned on.
=2Eif defined(USE_SOCKS)
USE_INET6=3D              NO
=2Eelse
=2E  if !empty(_OPSYS_HAS_INET6:M[yY][eE][sS])
USE_INET6?=3D             YES
=2E  else
USE_INET6?=3D             NO
=2E  endif
=2Eendif


Right?
