I am not sure what the history here is, but note that I still have the
plan of removing all include files and baseconfig files so that each
test case has a stand alone working proper configuration that also acts
as documentation.

In those setups, we would only have hostname.conf / hostname.secrets and
not ipsec.conf or ipsec.secrets re-used for both ends, because that would
again confuse the user with respect to re-using these example
configurations adding things they don't need and being confused by also=
