That's because it was the only system I had encountered that had 
SIOCGLIFCONF, not because I thought there were systems where we should 
avoid using it.

As Tom and I were joking yesterday, our HP-UX build system hasn't 
reported any errors.
But that's because it's turned off.  It's a slow machine running an old 
version of the OS, not very interesting...

I needed it on Solaris because the SIOCGIFCONF interface didn't seem to 
get me the IPv6 info.  Does IPv6 support work with your change, or do 
we need to figure out how to use SIOCGLIFCONF on HP-UX?
