I've added it in:
git://gitorious.org/openconnect-x/openconnect-x.git sni

It is followed by two commits that will reduce the size of the client
hello to compensate for the increase. One removes support for DHE-DSS
(the number of DSA certificates on the Internet could be counted on the
fingers of a single hand - according to an old study by SSL
observatory). The other removes the OCSP status request and session
ticket extensions that are not being used by openconnect.

Nikos
