Hi Lutz.



According to cygwin mailing list, IPv6 headers don't exist in Cygwin.

These headers don't exist in Cygwin.  IPv6 works, but only if

you use the standard headers like netinet/in.h or netinet/ip.h.

However, newLISP can be compiled by copying icmp6.h header file from other OS.

If there are no GPL licensing issues, I will recommend put in the IPv6 header in newLISP package.
