Thanks for your work!.  I have already used bits from there when adding 
IPv6 payload support to OpenVPN on Solaris :-)

Question to the community: how do we want to integrate the tun.c changes
for Solaris?  Its own branch, feat_misc branch, feat_ipv6_payload branch?

If we include it in feat_ipv6_payload, it won't have merge conflicts - but
then you only get the TAP-on-Solaris in combination with all the IPv6 stuff,
which people might not want.

David?
