This patch adds ipv6 support for udpsrc and udpsink. It has been tested in
Ubuntu7.10 (x86) and Nokia N800 (armel) with an ipv6 enabled kernel. At this
moment I'm unable to use cvs, because of the internet connection I'm using, so
the patch for cvs will be made available later.

Issues: In order to receive ipv6 packets with udpsrc we need to specify the
ipv6 localhost or else it will default to ipv4, we can do this by specifying
multicast-group=::1 for unicast or multicast-group=FF0E::1 for multicast.

This patch was written by request of IT Aveiro (www.av.it.pt) on behalf of the
C-Mobile Project.
