>Description:

The irc/tr-ircd port Makefile builds with --enable-ipv6 on
machines which do not have IPv6 enabled in the kernel. This causes
tr-ircd to be unable to listen for remote connections.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try running tr-ircd on a box whose kernel lacks IPv6 support.

>Fix:

Presumably there is some way to ask the running kernel (sysctl?)
if IPv6 is enabled? The makefile could use a better test than the
current version-number test.
