Hi,

There's ongoing debate that ipv6 compatible addresses may get deprecated.
Some 6to4 relay routers don't support them anymore.  Thus it becomes
necessary to allow nexthop for the default route to native ipv6 to be a
6to4 address.

The current implementation basically assumes the only v6-over-v4 tunneling
method is automatic tunneling with compatible addresses.

Attached patch fixes this.
