Nowadays, the best way to support Windows 7 and newer is to use IKEv2
instead of IKEv1. Android and Mac OS X are best handled with IKEv1 +
XAUTH. IKEv1 + XAUTH is referred as "Cisco VPN" mode in the built-in OS
X and Android VPN clients. This way, you don't have to use L2TP inside
your VPN tunnel so that's one less moving part.

To support all those, you should look at Strongswan. The version
packaged in Ubuntu supports all those very well in the Trusty LTS
release, no need to use a non-LTS version.
