[Ipsec-tools-devel] document beahviour of the file inclusion mechanism

[Rainer W. <rwe...@mo...>]

The racoons I have to deal with as part of my job needed to be able to
include all files located in some directory in order to make 'machine
reconfiguration' of the daemon easier. As it turned out to be, the
inclusion code already supported this but the corresponding behaviour
isn't documented in the raccon.conf(5) manpage. Below is a patch
agains 0.8.0 adding this.
