2k/NT port is one huge mess. Microsoft didn't release asy kind of API for 
those systems, so to get informations about available interfaces or 
add/delete addresses, Dibbler executes ipv6.exe command and parses its 
output. Remark for those of you, who are not programmers: this is dirty, 
ugly hack. But it was the only way to make it work in those systems.

Also keep in mind that Microsoft does not support this in any way and 
discourages from using IPv6 on those platforms. Not much hope there...
