I don't have  why strongswan exists along side  openswan. OpenSWAN has a
strong  tie to  L2TP  because  Xelerance (which  is  the company  behind
OpenSWAN) is  editing xl2tpd as  well and is  planning to publish  a new
version of  OpenSWAN able to  cooperate with OpenSWAN. However,  this is
only  important for running  a server.  On client  side, I  don't really
think this is important.
