-    bridge-utils: Fix compile against linux-3.8.x
-    
-    Linux 3.8 has a header, include/uapi/linux/if_bridge.h that uses a
-    struct in6_addr but doesn't define it.  The trivial seeming fix of
-    including the header that does define it causes more problems.  The
-    problem was discussed on mailing lists in January 2013.  The final
-    suggestion I found was here:
-    
-          http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-January/msg01253.html
-    
-    This is intended to implement that suggestion.
