New description:

 Some ports still have a +ipv6 variant. Most of them only pass --disable-
 ipv6/--enable-ipv6 to the configure script and do not add additional
 dependencies. As many other ports already provide support for IPv6 by
 default, I would like to remove +ipv6 altogether and support IPv6 by
 default also for these ports.

 || claws-mail || nomaintainer at macports.org || r46897 ||
 || curl || ryandesign at macports.org || ||
 || djbdns || nomaintainer at macports.org || ||

 Please give feedback. I will go ahead and change
 nomaintainer/openmaintainer in a few days.

Comment(by raimue@…):

 I committed some ports. I've updated the description above to reflect the
 current state. I did not touch ports which use patches for ipv6 support.
