Merged TODO.IPv6 with TODO.ipv6 and README.IPv6 with README.ipv6
Prior to this patch were two sets of IPv6 README/TODO files: one from payload and one from transport patchset. Unfortunately Git on Windows gets very confused of these files, as they only differ in case. This patch merges these sets into one.

-This is an experimentally patched version of OpenVPN 2.1 with IPv6
-payload support.
+IPv6 payload support
+--------------------
-Go here for release notes and documentation:
+Latest IPv6 payload support code and documentation can be found from here:

+IPv6 transport support
+----------------------
+
+[ Last updated: 25-Mar-2011. ]
+
+OpenVPN-2.1 over UDP6/TCP6 README for ipv6-0.4.x patch releases:
+( --udp6 and --tcp6-{client,server} )
+
+* Availability
+ Source code under GPLv2 from http://github.com/jjo/openvpn-ipv6
+
+ Distro ready repos/packages:
+ o Debian sid official repo, by Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta,
+ starting from openvpn_2.1~rc20-2
+ o Gentoo official portage tree, by Marcel Pennewiss:
+ - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287896
+ o Ubuntu package, by Bernhard Schmidt:
+ - https://launchpad.net/~berni/+archive/ipv6/+packages
+ o Freetz.org, milestone freetz-1.2
+ - http://trac.freetz.org/milestone/freetz-1.2
+
+* Status:
+ o OK:
+ - upd6,tcp6: GNU/Linux, win32, openbsd-4.7, freebsd-8.1
+ - udp4->upd6,tcp4->tcp6 (ipv4/6 mapped): GNU/Linux
+ (gives a warning on local!=remote proto matching)
+ o NOT:
+ - win32: tcp4->tcp6 (ipv4/6 mapped) fails w/connection refused
+ o NOT tested:
+ - mgmt console
+
+* Build setup:
+ ./configure --enable-ipv6 (by default)
+
+* Usage:
+ For IPv6 just specify "-p upd6" an proper IPv6 hostnames, adapting the example
+ from man page ...
+
+ On may:
+ openvpn --proto udp6 --remote <june_IPv6_addr> --dev tun1 \
+ --ifconfig 10.4.0.1 10.4.0.2 --verb 5 --secret key
+
+ On june:
+ openvpn --proto udp6 --remote <may_IPv6_addr> --dev tun1 \
+ --ifconfig 10.4.0.2 10.4.0.1 --verb 5 --secret key
+
+ Same for --proto tcp6-client, tcp6-server.
+
+* Main code changes summary:
+ - socket.h: New struct openvpn_sockaddr type that holds sockaddrs and pktinfo,
+ (here I omitted #ifdef USE_PF_xxxx, see socket.h )
+
+ struct openvpn_sockaddr {
+ union {
+ struct sockaddr sa;
+ struct sockaddr_in in;
+ struct sockaddr_in6 in6;
+ } addr;
+ };
+
+ struct link_socket_addr
+ {
+ struct openvpn_sockaddr local;
+ struct openvpn_sockaddr remote;
+ struct openvpn_sockaddr actual;
+ };
+
+ PRO: allows simple type overloading: local.addr.sa, local.addr.in, local.addr.in6 ... etc
+ (also local.pi.in and local.pi.in6)
+
+ - several function prototypes moved from sockaddr_in to openvpn_sockaddr
+ - several new sockaddr functions needed to "generalize" AF_xxxx operations:
+ addr_copy(), addr_zero(), ...etc
+ proto_is_udp(), proto_is_dgram(), proto_is_net()
