Specifying a port on IPv6

My colleagues at Javacool Software got a feature request today for an existing product, that it should run on a custom port, presumably due to the client's unusual network setup.
While doing that, we decided that it makes sense to support this feature for IPv6 as well. However, it turns out that specifying a port on IPv6 is much more annoying that on v4. In v4, the format is like so: dot-separated-IP:port. In v6, like so: [colon-separated-IP]:port.

Source Control

Until now, the CFRaii library has been available from my website. Now it is also publicly available through github. This is a trial for me, to see if I like git and github. I'll let you know.
