	I believe there's no standard place for libinet6.a, we do something
	like this until IPv6 is merged into all UNIXes.  Sad thing is that
	we can't use $host_id for this...

	It really depend on TCP implementation in that stack.  There are
	several stacks exist.  I think it is safer to do add_port() for both
	ones (AF_INET6 and AF_INET), than assume that AF_INET6 will do the
	trick.
