Ideally the application should initiate a SA renegotiation sequence 
(with IKE etc). But ipsec-secgw uses predetermined SAs, and so addition 
of SA renegotiation might not fit in with the current design. I was just 
adding this as a place holder for future expansion (and a model for real 
applications).

What are your thoughts on addition here? Similar handling would be 
needed for byte & time expiry as well, when that is added. May be we 
could just log the event and leave it be.
