Win Vista/7, recent Mac OS X, recent Linux all handle IPv6... so end-users
ought to be (relatively) OK... Win XP users less so. BUT that's assuming
that their home routers - which typically DON'T handle IPv6, ISPs, etc
support IPv6. It won't be much help if an end-user's OS is IPv6-capable if
the hardware along the way trying to process the address chokes!
