Summary: Windows binary missing IPv6 support

Initial Comment:
The Windows binary build from www.python.org appears 
to be missing IPv6 support.

The IP configuration in my Windows XP + Service Pack 
1:
C:\Documents and Settings\zolty>ipconfig
Configuración IP de Windows
Adaptador Ethernet Conexión de área local          :
        Sufijo de conexión específica DNS :
        Dirección IP. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2
        Máscara de subred . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Dirección IP. . . . . . . . . . . : 
fe80::200:1cff:fe04:cae6%4
        Puerta de enlace predeterminada   : 192.168.0.1

Here's an example of a socket with ipv6 protocol/family:

Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr  9 2002, 19:34:33) [MSC 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 
information.
>>> import socket
>>> a=socket.socket
(socket.AF_INET6,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no 
attribute 'AF_INET6'
