Thanks, I've commited this patch. 

I've also commited a fix for the original problem in XDM (returning
out of memory when an unsuppoted connection type is sent first in the
request paquet) by impementing a policy in SelectConnectionTypeIndex()
(in xdm/policy.c) to choose a connexion type that is supported.

I've fixed the the IPv6 problem with getifaddrs() and enabled
HasGetIfAddrs for darwin, so -broadcast works now. 

There are still 2 problems remaining :
-multicast doesn't seem to work on Darwin the query packets are sent
but xdm doesn't see them. And for now the link-local address for the
loopback interface  (fe80::1) is still (wrongly) advertized in the
request packet. I hope to be able to fix these problems soon.
