For vpnc, we don't yet support setting the vpnc option "Domain" (as
shown in /usr/sbin/vpnc --long-help) but it's very easy to add. However,
I'm wary of adding something without testing it so you (or someone)
would either need to send a patch and tell us it works or be willing to
test a patch that I can write. It should be very easy to add.

Looking at the man page there's probably a few other options we need to
add such as "IKE DH Group", "Perfect Forward Secrecy", "Enable Single
DES", "Disable NAT Traversal" but I don't know enough about vpnc to know
whether these are useful options anyone would like to use (and adding
options is expensive both usability- and screen real estate wise).
