Public bug reported:

You currently cant connect to host "localhost" on an IPv6-enabled
machine. This is a problem because some people think Mudlet can't
connect to mudbot (while using "127.0.0.1" currently works as a
workaround).

We should do it like telnet which tries both ways or something like
that. Note that telnet doens't hang on the ipv6 address, it almost
instantly switches to ipv4.

$ telnet localhost 1234
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

** Affects: mudlet
