Comment(by andrea):

 The rest of it all looks okay to me, assuming that it does indeed work.
 One thing that concerns me, though, is that it seems to only be dealing
 with *exiting to* IPv6 destinations and clients passing IPv6 addresses
 into the SOCKS5 port.  I can think of two other 'easy' cases I didn't see
 handled (correct me if I'm wrong): transparent proxying of IPv6 clients,
 and hidden service on an IPv6 address.
