Note that my patch is against Openswan 2.4.4, which doesn't have the 
code to ignore the order of the hashes.

No, I'm claiming Openswan 2.4.4 does, Openswan 2.4.5 will probably work 
out of the box with 10.4.5.

I think you'll still want to take the constants.c patch, so that logging 
makes some sense.

The vendor.h one probably isn't necessary in 2.4.5 to be interoperable 
with 10.4.5, but IMHO it's nicer to use the RFC-based NAT-T and not the 
draft ones. But that's up for you guys to decide.

Thanks,

Peter
