[ale] Cisco AnyConnect VPN client

For the archives:

The Cisco Anyconnect VPN client for Linux is supposed to work with SSL
certs. But "out of the box" is just won't. It appears (based on strace
analysis) that the vpn binary is hard linked to libs that are not always
there. The solution was to do some symlinks:

ln -s /lib/libnss3.so /usr/lib/libnss3.so
ln -s /lib/libplc4.so /usr/lib/libplc4.so
ln -s /lib/libnspr4.so /usr/lib/libnspr4.so
ln -s /lib/libsmime3.so /usr/lib/libsmime3.so

This worked for a Fedora 9 system (requires nspr-4.7.1-0.9.1.fc9.i386
nss-3.12.1.1-5.fc9.i386 openssl-0.9.8g-9.fc9.i386).

The cert was installed in firefox using the security management tools - I
had a private ID cert as well as a new CA cert to install.
