Hello,

First let me thank Valient Gough for his exellent work on encfs, great job!

Recenly I've been bitten a few times by incompatibilities between encfs
filesystems om different machines, possibly caused by different libboost
versions which are not able to read each others XML-serialized files:

09:07:39 (FileUtils.cpp:332) Archive exception: stream error
09:07:39 (FileUtils.cpp:284) Found config file /mnt/backup/.encfs6.xml, but 
failed to load

The encfs is created on a debian testing/'squeeze' machine, and the
error is generated on Ubuntu 9.04 trying to access the encfs filesystem.

Is there a solution or workaround for this, apart from the messy process
of upgrading parts of the ubuntu OS to support a more recent libboost ?

I feel a bit uncomfertable about this error, this makes me wonder if I
will still be able to access my archived encrypted filesystems in a few
years from now because of dependencies on external libraries like boost.

I would really love to have some kind of bare-bone standalone (ANSI-C?)
tool for accessing the encfs data (without fuse), of which I could store
the source on the media holding the encrypted files, so I can be sure I
can still access my data in the year 2020 or so, whatever operating
system I may be running by that time. Is such a tool available, would
creating this be feasable ?

Thank you,

Ico
