Probably.
Note that most of what's in that file is only supported on win2000 and
newer, IIRC. So I'm unsure wether we can include it unconditionally - it
has to be tested.

Ouch! Remind me again why we decided to support NT4?

Does anyone have an NT4 build enviroment that they can test patches on
if I come up with a fix? I sure don't.

The truth is that IPv6 isn't even in Windows 2000.
There is some "technology preview" ipv6 implementation for Windows 2000
which could be downloaded from MS website but it should not be used in
production enviroments.

I can test patches on my W2k if needed (I mean I can test if Postgres
still works without IPv6 support after patching because I don't have IPv6).
