But what if the kernel does not have IPv6 support, e.g. on Gentoo

Seems like we need to be much smarter here (a) in the build, or (b) at
run-time or (c) both.

Plus, our code in pmcd could be smarter, in that even if by default it
were to open both ipv4 & ipv6, it would not complain about the failure
of one.

I believe that this is already the case, at least for pmcd, and if that was included in the common code which was added to libpcp by Nathan, then also for other pcp daemons.
