-From 638b96a253164b65c63825c38e79812b6c5f448d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

-Subject: [PATCH] Fix compress to "::"
-
-Problem:
-```
-Net_IPv6::compress("0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0");
-```
-returns the empty string.
-
-It should return double-colon "::"
-
-The preg_replace here are over-zealous, in the "::" case, the sring
-starts and ends with ":" and so both get stripped out.
