Don't do that. The 'pavlix/ipv6' branch is obsolete. I'm only keeping it
just in case I need some of the patches later. Use 'master' for IPv6
testing instead.

It should work for you from the current master.

./autogen.sh && make && make dist

That's all. You can allways clean the whole git tree (be careful, it
deletes all unversioned files) with git clean -dfx before that.

You can also look at:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688258

But remember that 'make dist' may work even if 'make distcheck' doesn't
(distcheck actually checks the dist results).
