Default to IPv6 or IPv4?

When running a cryptlib server under Windows Vista or Windows 7, Windows preferentially uses an IPv6 interface rather than an IPv4 one. In other words if you run something like a SCEP server on port 80 it'll appear on [::]:80 rather than 0.0.0.0:80, unless you override this by explicitly specifying an IPv4 interface. Has anyone run into problems with this before? I'm thinking of adding a config option CRYPT_CONFIG_PREFERIPV4, default TRUE, to make things work as expected, and then in about 2030 (or 2050, or whenever) when IPv6 becomes more common than IPv4 it can be flipped to FALSE.
