And for IPv4 you can do it in a similar way, except for HIPQUAD which
you'd have to actually replace in the code, but there are less than 20
instances of it. Maybe use SPECIAL to indicate host byte order or
something, I'll leave that to the interested, unless I get really bored
next week (I'm kinda bored right now but don't have access to a fast
build machine ;) )
