strongSwan

Problem: If we specify the destination using the variable DESTDIR and the '${sysconfdir}' does not exist, installation fails.

[...]$ make install DESTDIR=$HOME/tmp/strongswan
...

Solution: Check if the '${sysconfdir}' already exists and create it if not. Add the following line to 'src/starter/Makefile.am' in the target 'install-exec-local':

test -e "$(DESTDIR)${sysconfdir}" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)" 

Or apply the attached patch file.
