[Resolvconf-devel] [PATCH] Add option PREFER_IPV6

[Pali Rohár]

Hello,

I created small patch which adding new env option PREFER_IPV6.
When is set to YES then libc resolvconf updater will add ipv6
nameservers before ipv4 in /etc/resolv.conf. This is usefull if
you want to prefer using nameservers via ipv6 protocol.

Patch was generated against ubuntu resolvconf version 1.67ubuntu2.
