Mac OS X Lion has DHCPv6

[Ray Soucy <rps () maine edu>]

Just wanted to drop a note as a was pretty harsh on Apple when rumors
of them not including DHCPv6 client support were floating about.  In
the past few days I've also seen people post that OS X doesn't have
DHCPv6, because they were looking for "DHCPv6" in the UI.  Thankfully
these reports are false.

Just tried it myself on a newly upgraded Mac.

Quick testing shows that when "Automatic" is used for the IPv6
setting, OS X will correctly look at the A, M, and O flags of an IPv6
RA and make use of DHCPv6 when instructed to.

Thank you to everyone at Apple who made this happen.  Especially James
Woodyatt, who I gave a piratically hard time to wearing my end-user
hat ;-)
