[strongSwan-dev] query in android apk source code System.loadLibary("Charon")

Hi Ravikanth,

Yes, these are compiled via Android.mk files in our source code and
included in the APK.  Then when the Java part of the app is initialized
these libraries are loaded (from the location where the system unpacked
them from the APK) with the System.loadLibrary call.

This loads libipsec (our own userland IPsec implementation). The lib
prefix is omitted when using that method.
