Investigated so far:
 - pptp lacks encryption (according to pkgsrc package info)
 - poptop is server-only (am I correct?)
 - openvpn does not provide PPTP
 - pppd/ppp does not provide PPTP/GRE
 - mpd is not buildable (although, it's dependency, libpdel was forced
to build (just a bunch of #ifndef __DragonFly__ here and there, mainly
netgraph includes layout, FILE* cookie handling and
NG_HOOKLEN/NG_PATHLEN macro's))

The biggest problem with mpd is it's Makefile, which relies on
bsd.ports.mk and so on. This would be too tough for me to port today.

Still welcome every idea on the name of the tool.

If I would be fresh enough, I'll try to build mpd4, but I don't feel
too optimistic.
