  Well, apparently there was a newer branch of this than the one that was
  sitting in my usual pending queue, so here it is. This also includes some
  additional documentation on the new features. NOTE: In order to use SLAAC
  to configure IPv6, you'll need to have USE_SLAAC[x]="yes" for the interface
  in rc.inet1.conf. This is to ensure that nobody is surprised to find their
  machine fully exposed to the internet - better safe than sorry.
  Thanks to Darren "Tadgy" Austin and Robby Workman.
