Hi Joy,

I think we can unify the generator format and drop the current u_int16_t
definition by a generic chunk format. I'll push these changes to master
this afternoon.

Traditionally, strongSwan did not use the group number for
configuration, but instead some more meaningful names by including the
size of the prime. This gives the user a hint how strong a group
actually is.

I'd prefer a naming scheme for the new groups in accordance to the
existing groups. What about modp1024s160 and MODP_1024_160? Too
complicated?

Regards
Martin
