yeah, my eyes missed that in the grep output.
I saw no place in Configurations/ where it was either set or not set.

Uhm. The point is that my regression test will fail on travis-ci if I try to
test the IPv6 pathways, because you can't bind even ::1 on Travis-ci.

I've done a different hack which is probably equally stupid, which is to put
        - TRAVISCI_NO_IPV6=true

into .travis.yml and test for it in the regression test.  At least that means
that travis will *compile* the code, and we'll know if the IPv6 code fails to
compile at some point, even if we can't run it on travis.
