Merging the files could certainly be done, but the idea was to minimize
the changes in the first versions. In Quake2 everything was actually
under a single file, net_udp.c. The files may have been split later 
when
Socks support was added.

To make the files smaller, the socket code could also be made 
completely
version agnostic and some of the #ifdef ENABLE_IPV6 removed. I don't
know if it's desirable to leave the option of compiling without v6
(feedbacks on this are welcome). If v6 is on, the default behavior
of the server will be to listen the unspecified address [::]
or on the link-local multicast group FF12::666 if multicast is on.
