I've just tested inntd under Solaris 2.6 and except a few details, it is
working perfectly. Unfortunatly, these small details will need autoconf
to be handled automaticaly (-lxnet/-lsocket, no socklen_t, queue_t reserved
and a strange macro used for mutexes).

Oh, I forgot to mention that I want full IPv6 support but I will only able
to test it under Linux for a while. There's not a single API for handling
dual stacks sockets, anyone familiar with this subject ?
