Even if Marek work is incomplete, it is really a good start to finish it on other OS...
Incompleteness was not an issue. Pike didn't compile at all on about half of the systems in AutoBuild (which was the verification system at the time). It is of course fully acceptable that while merging a patch into the development tree the builds are red for a few days. Marek however said that he had no intention in trying to fix his checkin, so it was reverted after half a week.

The non-interest of the patches was not due to lack of interest in IPv6 support, but the fact that it didn't compile on many systems. But that isn't news to you...
I understand that, but you know DVB module in Pike 7.4/7.5 is only Linux specific, so "it didn't compile on many systems" is not really a good argument to the fact that IPv6 support was not accepted.
The idea is to start a IPv6 support on at least one Operating System, then trying to port on other depending of access on other system.
I really think that IPv6 (even if it is not complete) must be added on pike.
