Hi Andrew,

I do not quite follow your arguments.

when did wel allow west.ipsec.secrets to work? It should not work! I had 
quick look at v3.30 west.ipsec.secrets would not be copied instead 
/etc/baseconfig/host/etc/ipsec.secerts will be copied as /etc/ipsec.secrets.

For host specific secerts file only allow west.secrets 

May be you are confusing with weststrongswan.conf some other combinations.
it is good to clean up the logic. 

I added support for  ipsec.secrets, which be coppied all test hosts, and not 
copy when there is ipsec.secrets and west.secrets (any host specific) files.

Most likely Paul still dislike ipsec.secrets:( as far I am concerned that is 
a different discussion for another day.
