Summary: Support IPv6 with VC.NET

Initial Comment:
This patch enables IPv6 support based on Winsock2 on 
Microsoft C 13 and later. Due to the implementation 
strategy used in the SDK headers, the resulting 
_socket.pyd will not require additional shared 
libraries, but it will instead locale the symbols 
dynamically, and fall back to a default 
implementation if none are found.

We'll have a hard time to test this, since I don't think
anyone I know with a Windows build environment is set up for
IPv6 yet.

I'm assigning to Martin since he's the IPv6 master, to see
if he agrees with the basic premises (and that it doesn't
break anything on Unix -- it's a pretty small patch so that
seems unlikely). Then Martin should probably assign it to
Tim, so Tim can see if at least it doesn't break anything on
various flavors of Windows we have lying around. Then it can
be alpha and beta tested to see if it doesn't break anything
else, and the original author can test if the installer we
distribute actually does the right thing for him.
