I'll shamelessly steal this thread to ask somewhat related question that
was bothering me since the original botched commit: what is the reason
behind IPSEC_SUPPORT option?  If it does not cost anything, why not just
optimize it away; if it does imply something more, can you shed some
light on why is it needed (and/or might not be)?  Thanks,
