I use netcfg-vpnc[1] more than a year now and never had a problem with it. Maybe it can be pulled into the netcfg repository and distributed together with netcfg.

Why would netcfg be the right place for this? The connection's don't even have an interface associated with them. As far as I can see you wouldn't need netcfg for this kind of stuff.

You wouldn't need netcfg to configure static ethernet connections as well, but that's also supported. It is just much more convenient to have an generic interface for the different kinds of connections and you do not have to deal with the details. Some tools like openconnect do not even support config files (this feature was just added a week ago to git), so it was nice to be able to use netcfg's config system to avoid using aliases or additional scripts and to keep the connections configuration in one place.
