      To match the rest of the system, Java should prefer IPv6 over IPv4 networking when available.

      On a network where http://www.kame.net/ loads over IPv6 in Safari, run the attached SConnect to test:

      $ java SConnect
      www.kame.net/203.178.141.194
      /2001:200:dff:fff1:216:3eff:feb1:44d7
      $ java -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true SConnect
      www.kame.net/2001:200:dff:fff1:216:3eff:feb1:44d7
      /2001:200:dff:fff1:216:3eff:feb1:44d7
