Support for IPv6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In the nameservers box enter one or more IPv6 addresses.
2. Press "Start Benchmark"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The benchmark should start running but instead it says that no nameservers
were found.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
namebench-1.0.5 on Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

I won't have an easily available IPV6 capable host to play with until tomorrow, 
but 
revision 488 should parse and make use of IPV6 addresses (tested on 
command-line, 
should work for all interfaces). If you get bored, check namebench out from 
subversion and give it a spin. 

So far I'm assuming that all of the underlying libraries should work. dnspython 
at 
least seems to treat it properly:

* Error with 1:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085 [1:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085]: 
<class 'socket.error'> ((101, 'Network is unreachable'))

I made a typo above. The fix is actually in revision 489

Unfortunately this does not appear to work with r489:-

This was fixed for me in r509 - do you mind checking out the subversion tree to 
see?
