Can you give us an overview about the required changes?

Always patch against HEAD, and be aware than the CVS has moved: latests
sources can be checked out like this:
cvs -da...@an...:/cvsroot co ipsec-tools

There is a little concern: we are trying to settle the code before
forking a new release branch, so we are not likely to commit an intrusive
change right now. 

Post your patch, and if it's at to intrusive, we'll have to postpone it for 
a few day until we have branched ipsec-tools 0.7
