IIRC vpnc only supports the first rekeying interval, but does not
support the second one which is usually 24 hours. I don't know if that
second one is the 'phase II' or not.

'Rekeying interval' isn't needed because I believe vpnc is smart enough
to figure that out automatically these days for the first (ISAKMP?)
rekey. It used to be required in 0.3 or 0.4 right after the rekeying
patch landed, but no longer is. As such, the option is not recognized
in vpnc 0.5.x.
