Herbert, I have been reading your patches to FreeS/WAN. This is very
exciting.

I have some questions/comments:

1) do we really need linux/include/rtnetlink.h? Shouldn't this
   be coming from the kernel headers?

2) You appear to have conditionalized the scripts to live
   on both kernels. That's very cool, but does it make any
   sense to do given that pluto would seem to do one or
   the other?

3) I'd like to accept your patches into our tree. I would prefer
   that the pluto patches be at least, #ifdef'ed. 
   Better would be if we created:
	  kernel-klips.c
	  kernel-netlink.c

   and included one or other into compilation.

   Best would be if we could include both, and select them at 
   run-time via a set of function pointers.
