TENTATIVE: IPv6 support through latest lwIP drop

The support in lwIP is not very good but we plan to supplement it to achieve feature parity with IPv4. CodePlex issue #1593.

TENTATIVE: Bug fixes for all other issues

We will make every effort possible to proceed in order of number of votes when cosidering each issue.
