I think it may be reasonable to group the Hash info in one TLV
and the IPSEC specific info in a separate TLV - is this what you are
saying? Be explicit so i dont have to redo the patch over and over.
The other way to look at it is in the future, a new TLV could be added
that replaces the current one.

yes, i need to make this change on the SPD as well. Dave hold onto both
patches - i will resend.

cheers,
