Ok.  I have read some of those (we'll skimmed anyway).

We'll add that in then - I have no problems with it, IPv4 mapped is  
horrible anyway ;)

Also - we should add a reference to those docs (and any others) into  
nc6 somewhere...either as URL's in a README, or the entire documents in  
docs.

Regards,
Chris
