[web-devel] bindPort of Warp

[Michael Snoyman]

No, this is not intentional behavior. I just borrowed the code for
bindPort from elsewhere. If you have a better implementation, I'd be
happy to pull it. But I think that at least until the network package
change happens we should conditionally compile to make sure Warp
always listens on IPv4 by default.
