Comment(by olly):

 We already use select() in portable code, there's no reason to mess around
 here.  APR is Apache 2 anyway, which (probably) isn't GPL2 compatible
 (IIRC Apache think it is, but the FSF don't).

 As to the "right" behaviour, surely this must already have been decided?
 If not by a formal spec, then by the behaviour of the majority of existing
 clients/servers with IPv6 support.

 But FWIW, it doesn't actually seem to be a problem if {{{xapian-tcpsrv
 --port 9000 --interface localhost testdb}}} isn't visible via 127.0.0.1 as
 the only client is ours which would also be IPv6 capable...
