I'm not certain I'm following what is hard about supporting both. socket_create()'s
first argument allows you to choose to have this socket be an AF_INET or AF_INET6. Unless
you're attempting to pull information about a host wherein you can get all addresses about a
host for a specific purpose a-la: http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/various/getaddrinfo.c.xp

Description:
------------
Currently it is rather hard to support both IPv4 and IPv6 in PHP when using sockets. It would be
rather nice if getaddrinfo system function would be available to PHP scripts. If have yet to find a
alternative for PHP that works just as clean.
