On Windows Vista, IPv6 is enabled by default, and cannot be uninstalled,
or disabled easily on the loopback adaptor. localhost is ::1 by
default, and the enhanced 'security' makes it insanely difficult to edit
the hosts file.

This means that the regression tests fail to run, leaving a
postmaster.log full of 'no pg_hba.conf entry for host ::1' errors.
Should we have initdb enable the ::1 pg_hba.conf trust entry by default
on Vista? Any better options?

Regards Dave
