Hey Jan,

Not much progress on this yet, as you probably realize through that bug
report.  Though the larger new stuff that's talked about in that report
is still targeted for 1.2.

(random note: not all VPNs have interfaces, eg routing-based ones like
openswan/libreswan simply add routes to the parent interface)
