It provides the kernel-netlink plugin which is used to e.g. enumerate
interfaces and IP addresses.  libhydra currently also provides some
essential building blocks for the charon daemon (e.g. the attribute
handling framework).  These elements were previously shared with the old
IKEv1 daemon pluto, which is why they are located in a separate library.
 In the next release some of it will be moved to libcharon though.

Tobias
