it is backwards compatibility cruft dealing with RFC changes ... the libc is 
just where the defines happen to live

RFC3542 obsoletes RFC2292 ... RFC2292 listed the ICMP6_* defines while RFC3542 
changed to the MLD_* defines

it didnt make much sense to me to move these defines to portability.h as they 
are only used in ping6.c
