By default interface name is 'tun' with an incrementing number (tun0,

the name to something more descriptice.

Mostly looks good.  Perhaps one more round, see below...

This part will cause most imports to fail, because most connections
don't specify an interface name.  I think we should just kill the entire
'else' block here since it's not really a hard error if the name is
missing.

Agreed.

In addition to this I made writing the configuration option to vpnc
configuration optional.

We won't always have the interface name though, so I think we have to
conditionally export it like some of the other variables are.

Sure.

I will reply with a patch.
