o make possible to get AF from getaddrinfo() answer, ie allow openvpn to
use ipv4/6 if DNS returns A/AAAA without specifying protocol.
Hard: requires deep changes in initialization/calling logic

o use AI_PASSIVE

o the getaddr()/getaddr6() interface is not prepared for handling socktype
"tagging", currently I abuse the sockflags bits for getting the ai_socktype
downstream.
+ - Still done by flags, seems clean enough.
o implement comparison for mapped addesses: server in dual stack
listening IPv6 must permit incoming streams from allowed IPv4 peer,
currently you need to pass eg: --remote ffff::1.2.3.4

* win32:
o find out about mapped addresses, as I can't make it work
with bound at ::1 and connect to 127.0.0.1
