xhost package not compiled for IPv6


Currently, setup-1.7 installs a version of xhost (1.0.2-1) that is not compiled properly for IPv6 protocol support.
When querying against an IPv6 X server IPv6 addresses are not recognized.
The fix for this is to simply rebuild the xhost package.


However, to get it to work at all with the Cygwin/X server, you have to be using IPv4 transport, as IPv6 support seems broken. The server listens on IPv6 addresses ok and recognizes incoming connections, but then it just hangs. Has anyone diagnosed this further? I believe the problem is in accept() system call.
