A while back I created a git repository which adds IPv6 support. If you:
  git clone git://repo.or.cz/fireholvi

You can try a version with mixed IPv4/IPv6 support. I suggest checking the
rules output by hand before using them in production but it fullfills all
my needs.

There's also a cvs-mirror branch which tracks the official CVS repo if
that's useful to anyone.
