 #17281 suggests that an IPv6-only client should be able to bootstrap by
 setting some flags in torrc.  I've done:

 {{{
 ClientUseIPv4 0
 ClientUseIPv6 1
 }}}

 But, most clients are not *always* IPv4-only or IPv6-only.  In particular,
 i tend to move my laptop between networks that have different properties
 (i'm writing this from a v6-only network).

 I shouldn't have to fiddle with my torrc to make tor work.  it should be
 able to auto-detect this situation and do the right thing automatically.
