Bug Description

I use vmbuilder and specify hard coded fixed IP addresses with --ip, --mask, --gw and --dns. It works fine for IPv4.

However I also want to provide IPv6 address to the virtual machine. Adding a 'inet6' stanza to /etc/network/interfaces works, but requires me to modify that file on the system. If vmbuilder supports setting IPv4 addresses, I think it should support setting IPv6 address too.

Therefor, please add parameters like --ip6, --mask6, --gw6 to vmbuilder.

Thanks,
Simon
