We already do.  The issue is what way should we give admins to _fail_ if
IPv6 doesn't start.

What is "IPv6 doesn't start"?  Either the machine has IPv6 addresses,
or it doesn't.  It is not our job to notify the DBA what the addresses
on his machine are.

In the UnixWare case, you can't even find out if there is an IPv6 address, and
the API returns a wierd error, IIRC.
