We probably should, I suppose.  I imagine by the time the next
resiprocate release is made from the trunk, you'll have your IPv6
patch in c-ares.  I think it's fair to consider that to be the bare
minimum for really being able to use the two libraries together in the
general case, so requiring whatever version of c-ares that turns out
to be (1.7.0?) is probably the right thing to do.

I will take a look at doing this over the next couple of days.  I
guess the best strategy is to grep the ares_version.h header?

I'm in no hurry, but let me know if I can help.  I've been planning to
write the resiprocate patch to support the IPv6 DNS server addresses
once your stuff is in c-ares, but if you'd prefer to do it, just let
me know.

Likewise, if yours is better, I will take no offense if you post it
instead ;)
