xhost package not compiled for IPv6

Currently, setup-1.7 installs a version of xhost (1.0.2-1) that is not 
compiled properly for IPv6 protocol support.
When querying against an IPv6 X server IPv6 addresses are not recognized.
The fix for this is to simply rebuild the xhost package.

However, to get it to work at all with the Cygwin/X server, you have to 
be using IPv4 transport, as IPv6 support seems broken. The server 
listens on IPv6 addresses ok and recognizes incoming connections, but 
then it just hangs. Has anyone diagnosed this further? I believe the 
problem is in accept() system call.
