I suggest the following changes to README.md:

1. Under the heading "Building for REM based systems", line 3. "spce" -> "spec"

2. Under the heading "Compiling the userland and IKE daemon manually in /usr/local", the first line is "make programs", which returns an error message:
     "make: *** No rule to make target 'programs'.  Stop."

Note 1: the INSTALL file in the same directory suggests "make all".

Note 2: this error was reported to swan-dev on 2023-09-13, and a response was sent by Andrew Cagney to the list on 2023-12-19, reporting that many of my suggestions had been addressed, but clearly this one has not (or at least it was not fixed before RC1 was released).

3. Further down under the same heading, it says:
"Run `ipsec verify` to determine if your system misses any of the requirements. This will also tell you if any of the kernel sysctl values needs changing."

However, once libreswan is installed, running `ipsec verify` gives the following error message: /usr/local/sbin/ipsec: unknown IPsec command "verify" ("ipsec help" for list)
In addition, running 'ipsec help' produces no mention of a "verify" command.

Either the "verify" command needs to be re-installed, or these two sentences need to be removed.
