[Users] Something tricky in the documentation for freeswan 2.03 & 2.04

I've been looking at how to build the freeswan package from source, and it seems like there is a slight copy-paste error present in the online docs.

On the page
http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-2.04/doc/install.html#srcinstall

The section below seems to suggest the same actions for both of the different install methods.
I also checked the 2.03 docs and it was the same there. The 2.02 docs differed though.
--- snip ---

        KLIPS install for 2.2, 2.4, or 2.6 kernels

To make a modular version of KLIPS, along with other FreeS/WAN programs you'll need, use the command sequence below. This will change to your new FreeS/WAN directory, make the FreeS/WAN module (and other stuff), and install it all.

    cd /usr/src/freeswan-2.03
    make oldmod
    make minstall

Start FreeS/WAN and test your install
<http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-2.03/doc/install.html#starttest>.

To link KLIPS statically into your kernel (using your old kernel settings), and install other FreeS/WAN components, do:

Do you need help?X

    cd /usr/src/freeswan-2.03
    make oldmod
    make minstall

Reboot your system and test your install
<http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-2.03/doc/install.html#testonly>.

For other ways to compile KLIPS, see our Makefile.
