Cool, offlineimap has been carrying modified open()s for quite a long
time now, in order to enable both IPv4 and IPv6 connections (python
apparently only gets and connects via IPv4 by default).

The unfortunately somewhat underdocumented piece starts at:
https://github.com/nicolas33/offlineimap/blob/master/offlineimap/imaplibutil.py#L257

and goes for a few lines. This is is where the code comes from:
        #rather than just self.sock = socket.create_connection((host, port))
        #we use the below part to be able to connect to ipv6 addresses too
        #This connects to the first ip found ipv4/ipv6
        #Added by Adriaan Peeters <apeeters at lashout.net> based on a socket
        #example from the python documentation:
        #http://www.python.org/doc/lib/socket-example.html

Including something along these lines into imaplib2 would be nice and
would kill off a big piece of our "imaplibUTIL" file :-).
