I'm starting to work on IPv6 with maintain, and, at the moment, we dont
know if we are doing something for DHCP, because autoconfiguration
exists in IPv6 and maybe we dont need this function in our interface.
But we still need it for DNS, so here is the way I feel:

* adding a class IP6 for managing ipv6 (using pear's function Net::IPv6)
* for every table which contains ipv4 in maintain's database, adding
it's equivalent in ipv6 (ip_blocks, ranges,...) and adding fields for
ipv4 in hosts, pointer, etc...
* adding in the templates a field to add ipv6 range, ipv6 in host
creation, using the IP6 class and the new tables
* adding management of ipv6 hosts and subnets in maintain code :)
