ipv6_ifconfig_<interface>_alias<n> not working

[Spil Oss]

Thanks for the hints Matthew!

Cleaning up my config I found the culprit..... Copied
    ipv6_network_interfaces="gif0"
from some guide which off course defeated all my efforts to configure
ipv6 on the other interfaces.

The ipv6_addrs_<interface> knob doesn't seem to work (this is 8.0-p2),
can't find any references to it in the subr files either. Saw that
there's quite a bit of changes in -head though....

Kind regards,

Spil.
