OK, I'll buy gif + IPSEC transport mode as an option. [Although in that
case, perhaps what you want is an external IPSEC tunnel mode implementation
which attaches to a 'tun' device. That's yet another category which I hadn't
even considered]

I still think that gif + IPSEC tunnel mode (as currently documented) is not
a good approach, especially if it's the *only* mode of operation to be
documented and hence implicitly recommended as the 'right' way to do it.
