Re: IKE Minor version

Oops.  Just noticed that the versioning in RFC 2408 is strangely
backwards.  And to think I thought it was a bug in my code that I
rejected larger minor versions!  Since 1.0 is the "current" version,
and 1.1 is the "old" version, how do we change the version number to
indicate minor updates such as those in the new IKE draft while
retaining compatibility??
