[Olsr-dev] httpinfo IPv6 patch

Hi Bernd!

I think "goto" is the cleanest way to make a destruktor for a function in C. See the Linux kernel.

Write a HTTP server library that can be shared by both plugins?

I disable it only in my new OpenWrt init.d-Script, if it should start an IPv6 and an IPv4 instance of the olsrd parallel, so that the plugins can bind to the same port. And after that I restore the old setting.

(The BusyBox daemons depend on thats enabled.)

I think this feature is nice for the olsrd, so that I can say it should bind to the IPv6 port and IPv4 port, if run the olsrd for IPv6 meshing only. And I can say that it should bind to the IPv6 port only, so that a second IPv4 olsrd instance can bind to the IPv4 port. (I mine the ports of the plugins.)
