The web site contains a section:

        2. use getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() everywhere.

        getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are new address independent variant
	that hides every gory detail in name-to-address translation, 
or vice versa.

So I guess that the next generation Internet technology contains the 
notion of host names. The cvs command would use the hostname in

        cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden/some/path/cvsroot co module

Does CVS have to be modified to use one of those two ipv6 functions?
