Was racoon preventing iked from running? The only reason I ask is that 
setkey is bundled with ipsec-tools which can be very helpful even when

I can certainly bundle it with the distribution but will have to toy 
with CMake to see if it can reliably detect a sysv init environment 
before adding it to the install routine.
