I did have some time to look at it. You will find a patch implementing
Ciscos proprietary IKE fragmentation in the patches tarball in the
chroot-ipsec source rpm. It's based on Strongswan 4.4.1. I managed
to port (it did not apply cleanly) that patch to the 4.5.2 based
debian backports version and it at least compiles. Tests are still pending.

This is however a temporary workaround as this will surely not
work on 5.x. and therefore most likely never get into the
official srongswan repos.

Regards
Andreas
