[Swan] pluto doesn't reread certfificates

Hi,

I'd like to migrate from openswan to libreswan on our internet appliance.

For our customers, we need the ability to restart single connections on 
configuration or certficate changes.
Unfortunately this seems not possible with the nss database.
I found one comment from Paul here: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649420

I can't find any infos about changes to nss or pluto regarding the 
reload issue.

Are there any plans about that?

A quick hack was to back port load_host_cert and using the old file 
mechanism, but I don't know what trouble I get with this in future 
versions. ;)

I understand that nss is mainly needed for crypt functions and that is 
not the problem.
But is there any reason why you didn't make the way the certificates are 
stored an option and removed the entire code about file based certificates?
Is there any other solution I can work around this problem?

Greetings
Wolfgang
