That's just the title in the source tree. The make file installs it as
`wg-auto-config`.

There already is a systemd-networkd pull request. I didn't write the
code for it, and it seems like it could use quite a bit of review, but
I'm pretty sure systemd-networkd .network files are going to happen.

The goal of this tool is just to have something quick&dirty for people
to use for flipping on and off their VPN. And it seems like some
people who don't use systemd-network wanted something easy they could
run from a "wireguard at .service" file.

If you have an objection to shipping this, I could just move it back
into contrib.

Not an option. wg(8) is intended to only take care of
wireguard-related things, and not overlap with ip(8). It should not be
a network management tool at all. In fact, the ultimate goal is to
fold its functionality into iproute2/ip(8).

That's a decent idea for a name. But it does a _bit_ more than merely
combine the two utilities.

So, it seems like thing to do at this point would be to open this
thread up for bike-shedding over the name. What might we call this
tool to convey what it does?

- wg-helper
- wg-quick-setup
- wg-ezconfig
- wg-wrapper
- wg+ip+magic
- ??
