Thanks, this looks interesting. I'll take a look.
Note that, as discussed earlier on encfs-users@, I am in the process of
changing the license on the library portion of encfs to LGPL. If you are
not willing to have your patches available under the LGPL, then let me know
so that I don't incorporate them.
regards,
Valient
