I've tried out Dia, an open-source Visio clone, and made images for the
ASCII drawings in the security/ipsec section of the handbook.  In my
opinion, they look relatively decent compared to the old ASCII.

They look a bit crufty at the moment, I'm assuming because of eps2png.
I'm hoping Adam Stanislav's peps to see if it will have an improvement.

Perhaps we can make Dia our standard for diagrams.  I had a bit of trouble
compiling it from ports.  libiconv-1.6.1 broke for me, and gnomecore broke
for Murray.  If any of you run into the same problems, I've made packages
of these two ports as well as dia itself.
