Summary: configure --enable-ipv6 enables IPv6 even if not available

Initial Comment:
"configure --enable-ipv6" defines INET6 and thus
enables IPv6 without checking whether there's proper
compile-time OS support for IPv6 (system headers and
libraries). This  causes an IPv6-enabled build to fail
for me in apps/snmpnetstat/inet6.c at *compile* time
instead of configure time on Solaris 2.6/7 and HP-UX
10.20/11.00.

--enable-ipv6 also breaks the OpenBSD 3.8 build (SF CF host
x86-openbsd1):

#define CONFIGURE_OPTIONS "'--with-defaults'
'--prefix=$HOME/5.3cvs/x86-openbsd1/usr/local'
'--disable-developer' '--with-libwrap' '--with-mib-modules=
host disman/event-mib smux examples examples/example smux
Rmon' '--with-transports=UDP TCP Unix Callback '
'--enable-shared' '--enable-ipv6'"
Result: Error (rc 255)
