[strongSwan] Parsing strongswan.conf in starter

[Martin Willi]

get_str() does. There are other methods, such as 
get_bool, get_int, get_double or get_time performing type conversions.
Refer to [1] for details.

No. To simplify introducing new options, the parser does not know the
specific option keywords. You won't have to extend the parser. Just pass
a key using "dot-notation" to get_*() to select a section, subsections
and key. [2] has some more information.
