Section 10.3 of draft-ietf-ipv6-default-addr-select-09.txt (this is
the latest draft I believe) may also help.  KAME snaps have
getaddrinfo considering the policy table and a tool to modify the
policy table.  I guess Windows XP support the feature, too.

Whether we should change the default is, of course, another issue.
