Now, as IPv6 is becoming more popular, GNU/Linux Distributions, for
example Debian, enable IPv6 at compile time. IMHO the point is that
users shouldn't need to compile their own Exim, just to let Exim
exactly do what they want. Sure, it would be better and nicer if they
could use the "standard" package without recompilation.
