Having looked at this code I'm baffled as to what the function is for. It
doesn't appear in any standards nor in the libc5-based IPv6 implementation
as far as I can see, and I can't remember why I added it in the first place.
If you look at the code it's just a trivial wrapper round one of the macros
from <netinet/in.h>
Perhaps it should just be removed. I'll ask on the netdev list to see if
anybody has any objections.
