I think i already wrote this: I don't think it is a good idea to 
automatically enable ipv6: it neither works with the wrong bindv6only
nor with server.port != 80.

Dropping the script would fix these issues; providing a simple example 
line in the default config should be enough imho (the people who want 
ipv6 know they have to configure most services to use it anyway):

# uncomment to listen to ipv6:
# (if you still have bindv6only=0 use
#  server.use-ipv6 = "enable" instead)
# $SERVER["socket"] == "[::]:80" { }

(upstream dev)

PS: We still think about enforcing BINDV6ONLY upstream (we probably 
would add a "use-the-old-way" option for some time) in 1.4.x; but
I don't think it will come in 1.4.27, perhaps 1.4.28.
