First of all, a *big applause* for Jeff Dairiki ! 0.997 is really 
_excellent_ news!!!  A new big step forward toward the mythical 1.0 :)

At Spamhaus, deployment of IPv6 is under way and this was a very
important missing brick.  We now expect to start supplying IPv6
data within the year.

A question pops out: will ip6set (equivalent of ip4set) be added
at some point, or we better forget about it ? At present, the SBL
uses ip4set, but the only real reason for not using ip4trie is the 
presence of duplicates - which are not useful at all from the operational 
point of view but are used to point people to different issues sitting
on a same IP that are documented in the database under different records.  
This is not a big issue, but if duplicates are impossible we would have 
to do some structural changes.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed to reaching this milestone.
