Ok...

This is really a trivial fix to one of the error messages pointed to by
Michael and Paul wrt the aggressive mode policy errors.

Ok...  That error message is incorrect, or, at least, imprecise.  That
branch is not taken when there are multiple policies from the ike= line
at all.  It's only taken when there is no ike= policy specified.  That
needs to be clarified as it's confusing.  Instead, now, it should note
that no policy was specified and the policy should provide only one DH
group (and that only the first one will be honored if more than one is
provided).  The attached patch will do this.  The log message may be
overly long and verbose but I wanted to make it clear.  Obviously, this
goes hand in hand with the multiproposal patch posted last night.

Regards,
Mike
