The way this is done in OpenConnect is to invoke vpnc-script with all
the normal configuration information *and* a file descriptor for the
tunnel. We have ocproxy which will handle being invoked that way and
will set up a local SOCKS proxy to provide access to the VPN that way.

If you are going to implement similar functionality in vpnc, let's make
sure it's compatible.
