I think of doing at least followings soon.
-Add "::1 localhost" into src/etc/hosts
-Leave getaddrinfo() as is (not resolving system non-supporting af)
-Add -4 options to dual stack apps, which restrict them to
only resolv AF_INET. This is useful on INET6 enabled sysytems.
(most of such apps already support it, but some apps not yet.)
