I sent a mail, we'll see.  Until then I've added directory parsing,
and pushed this live, so ASN lookups on IPv6 is working.

(for some definition of working; nice that the routing table lists
2001::/32 a dozen times with a dozen different ASNs.  Just over 100 of
the public mirrors are discoverable via their ASNs on IPv6 now, vs 12
using defined netblocks, so that's something!)
