lynx supports IPv6 internally - should be able to connect to a host using

(This is known - patches welcome ;-)
Just to give me a head start, which file is responsible for the parsing?
The largest chunk is in
WWW/Library/Implementation/HTParse.c
though there'll be scattered fixes - the square brackets for instance
could collide with the VMS pathname parsing (I'm not sure - just general
advice). But HTParse.c is the starting point.
I've mostly been working on vile and xterm the past few months, have been
working on lynx's backlog the past week or so...
