Mainly I'm quoting the OpenSSL stuff, and I think some parts of the
handbook use `IPSec' also.  However, I'm not going to fight with
anyone, as the majority of our sources do, in fact use the lower
case `s'.  Otherwise I'm not going to drag this on.  Back to my
studies.

And yes, before someone points it out, my analysis of `sources'
was incorrect, but I can almost swear it was IPSec in the NOTES
file...  Perhaps I need more sleep.
