ecryptfs-utils apaprently is for ~x86 only.  Any idea of when it will
be ready for ~amd64?

One of the things I want is to move this external drive from machine
to machine.  It would be a shame if 32 bit and 64 bit didn't talk to
each other!

I do have encfs emrrged on all machines, so I can start there with
experimentation; it does encrypt file names, but I'd rather have a
solid encrypted block than bits and pieces.  I suppose that might not
matter a whole lot.
