Whooops, I forgot about a small bug I noticed. When routing IPv6 with
link-local addresses only, you have to explicitely load the ipv6
module before enabling routing. It is not necessary when using
explicitely assigned IPv6 addresses, as the module is automatically
loaded when ifconfig is invoked. The attached patchlet should do the
trick.

The same problem arises when using autoconfigured addresses, but this
is generally a bad idea on a server or a router, so I think this is
not a real issue. Anyway, I will add a config option when I have time
(does ENABLE_IPV6 sound right?).
