Subject: make USE_INET6=YES a default, if the package is compiled on
 IPv6-ready userland (checked by existence of /sbin/ping6).

with the change, the default value for USE_INET6 will be like this:
- non-NetBSD: undefined
- NetBSD releases prior and including 1.4.x: undefined
- NetBSD-current (pre-1.5) prior to IPv6 integration: undefined
- NetBSD-current after IPv6 integration: USE_INET6=YES

It is advised to obey the default.
