I also want to mention that I don't use vpnc anymore, and haven't done
so for years. I don't want to keep maintaining it, so if there are
takers among the devs, please step up.

Signoff x86_64. I can take care of it, as I use it on a daily basis for
work.

Anyone else? User signoffs are welcome.

I'd like to get this moved to core soon-ish to make way for some more
concrete changes, namely:

* Updating to an svn tarball which has some lovely bug fixes -- several
other distros are packaging trunk.
* An updated vpnc-script maintained by David Woodhouse (intel employee
and major kernel contributor) [1]. He's added ipv6 support and a few
bugfixes as well.

I've also sent David a pull request to get rid of the net-tools
dependency (at least in Linux) and fix a bug in his updates.

1. Why is this even in [core]? It doesn't seem essential at all to most systems.
2. The updates sound smart to me.

If no one objects, I'll move this to extra tomorrow and start working on
a new release.

The original reason was that some people might need it to connect to the
internet - I admit that those situations are rare and rather obscure though.
