All IPs returned from the DNS are tested, and IPv4 seems to always be tested first. So I don't think we need to explictly disable IPv6 with a config option in dillorc, but we could add it later if we encounter problems. + +This change effectively **enables support for IPv6 by default** when Dillo is built in a platform that has IPv6 support, which is most of them. Users can override the detection and explicitly set the outcome by using `--enable-ipv6` or `--disable-ipv6`. + +Fixes #167
