IPv6 support was added for the OLPC (Unix) VMs, the smalltalk support
code is in the OLPC image.
Ian did the new plugin, Bert and I did the image side work. Right now it
falls back on the old network code, if the ipv6 plugin isn't present.
IIRC Ian had planned to officially release and announce the plugin once
it is stable so other platform maintainers could catch up. Ian?
