strongSwan implements RFCs 4478, 4739 and 6023.

Twelve years ago we had two students work on implementing RFCs 6467 and
6631. But we never cleaned up that prototypical code because it required
a significant effort and there was not much interest around it.  So we
currently don't have support for any of these.
