It was originally tested with 1.3beta2. I did not require any
modification, just to replace the fping with IPv6 compatible fping.  That
time the is_host() function did not check for existence of the host entry
as it does now in the CVS. Only restriction is that you had to specify
your IPv6 ping target with hostname and NOT with address.
