Who needs IPv6 on windows? There are about 10-15 before IPv6 will be implemented everywhere, so why someone needs it on windows now?

Yes, IPv6 was not enabled by default (define commented in the config
win32). What I was also wondering is what is POCC, but finally binged
it =) http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/index.htm

I think IPv6 works well with recent windows. I used to enable it for
the PHP's curl binding. I forgot once to enable IPv6, the amount of
bugs report told me that it is actually used and works well enough for
most of the users.

The question is now, why is it enabled only with the Pelles C compiler
and not with VC? Maybe we can enable it only with a given VC version?
(like VC9 and later) by default?
