I just the option to define NO_NDNS in psi/src/src.pro.  It was
commented out with a mention of IPv6.  When I uncommented it, ran make
clean && make, and restarted psi, it successfully made a connection to
my jabber server using IPv6.  I haven't tested it very thoughly, but it
is allowing me to use my jabber server over IPv6 at the moment.
