Need build option to drop out support for IPV6

Description

It'd be nice if there were an option to drop IPV6 support, so the following error message didn't get logged:

socket-server.c: socket(PF_INET6): Address family not supported by protocol

I use Gentoo Linux and with their ebuild system, I could drop IPV6 from the binaries it builds.

I would have thought this could be a runtime option rather than build time option.... Would be nice I agree (especially as mdns offers a mdns4 module to avoid the overhead on non IPv6 systems)

Humm. The IPv6 support code in PA is minimal, probably not more than 30 lines or so. Adding a compile time option to disable this, just to make Gentoo people happy and to remove a single warning message, is not exactly worth the time to actually work on it.

If you want to see this feature in PA, please provide a patch!
