I can use the source from any of the provided plugins as a template, but I’m looking to guidance on how to integrate this in to the overall build process or building it outside of the strongswan build.  Pros/cons.  Also, tips on doing this in a way that simplifies migration to future strongswan updates would be very helpful.
