[Openswan Users] Openswan 2.1.1 not sending certificates

Yes, I know. My X.509 code in openswan-2.x.x was mutilated by the
Openswan team so that a certificate request will never be sent.

In ipsec_doi.c you'll find the hardcoded statement

    bool send_cr = FALSE;

This is exactly the reason why I decided to launch the
strongSwan project. I didn't want to compare thousands of my own
code lines in order to find out what had been changed during
the merge into openswan-2.x.x.

Regards

Andreas
