Trying to use link-local (fe80::/10) addresses for anything useful.
This might work when the application actually understands scopes, but
most don't.

On Vista one can try using:
fe80--2e0-dbff-fe07-20b7s6.ipv6-literal.net

As getaddrinfo() in Vista understands it and translates that to
something useful.

But it is much easier to just use global addresses or generate an ULA
prefix (http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/ula/) and use that.
