Re: IPv6 support in ccRTP - iqueue problems...

While I can merge the receiver code for both ipv4 and ipv6 cleanly into 
a single outqueue class which can handle both without breaking anything, 
I do not think this is as easy to do in iqueue.h/incqueue between all 
the subclasses related to syncsource which also are address aware and 
the way it is interconnected currently.  It may in fact be easier to 
have an entirely separate i4queue.h, inc4queue.cpp, members4.cpp, etc, 
with new xxxIPV6 versions of all those things, to handle inbound IPV6 
packets...

I checked in my changes for ipv4/ipv6 outbound packet handling, which 
went very well, and thought I would wait for you to comment.
