Hi, 

Thank you for your message. I have fixed all the issues and tried to
explain in a few words the fourth question. If you have any comments,
please don't hesitate.

common name:

Common name is the "standard" name of the openssl entry that will be
used for the certificate creation. If you use the same name for other keys
as the one used for the ca ... then the ca certificate will be replaced by
the client one ... and all the certificates will be wrong because the ca
certificate is used to sign all the other ones. The ca certificate cannot
be removed if one wants to generate other certificates ... 

freeswan:

it's a bit long to explain but I'll try in a few words:
Freeswan was the main project, then appearead superfreeswan wich was
mainly freeswan with some extra patches. There was also the x509 patch done
by the guys from strongsec.com. For different reasons the freeswan project
was stopped and both contributors did continue by creating two new
projects: openswan and strongswan. These projects use the same logic as
freeswan so I thought that I should keep the original name because
strongswan is only a flavour of freeswan. I don't know if I make myself
clear.
