It is also one of my main concerns actually.

Well, people who use another libipsec are expected to "just" not see
NAT-T extensions.

The only "real issue" is that, actually, NAT-T ports are sent though
sockaddr structs, when RFC 2367 says that zeroing ports MUST be done
(section 2.3.3).


There is already an open ticket on ipsec-tools side to cleanup that
part of the code on userland's size of PFKey interface, and I hope
it will be done for 0.8.0 release (sorry, no release date for now).

As soon as I'll have a working patch on userland, I'll do the work on
FreeBSD's kernel side. I hope everything will be done within a few
weeks, but I already know that we'll have backward compatibility
issues with various kernels (ipsec-tools runs at least on FreeBSD,
NetBSD, Linux and MacOSX).
