[bug-inetutils] [patch cont.] Mending client tftp for IPv6

[Mats Erik Andersson]

Hello again,

I would like to propose for wider testing a second patch set
that implements full IPv6 support on the client part 'tftp'.

The only interdependence of the present set with the previous one
for the server 'tftpd', is on the function synchnet in 'tftpsubs.c'.

For the purpose of a cleaner code for this client and for other
applications to come, I propose the addition of presently two
helper functions to 'libinetutils.a'. They make sure that port
manipulation is not obscured by the switch statement that
separates IPv4 and IPv6 address structures.

My first testing has been done on Debian Squeeze/testing, but
the coding is tailored for FreeBSD and OpenBSD as well. I will
test in such environment within shortly.


Best regards,

Mats Erik Andersson, fil. dr
