I'm planning on enabling IPv6 support in boot floppies.
(grabbing tar.gz via IPv6 and such)
To do this, I will need to have INET6-enabled ifconfig into boot
floppies. Which route should I take?
- add -DINET6 into distrib/utils/x_ifconfig/Makefile.
this would increase ifconfig binary size by 6K (i386, after
stripping).

- make separate x_ifconfig6 (or some other name) with -DINET_ONLY
-DINET. use x_ifconfig6/ifconfig as necessary.
I prefer former as it is much simpler, and will save us from
thinking about consistency between x_ifconfig and x_ifconfig6.
