Well, so when the mail is in list, I'll add more thoughts here :-)
- support some foreign format should not be such problem, the
stacking of several dmcrypt devices is more complicated problem here
- truecrypt is not in all distros (because of licence), it is not meant
as replacement for its tools but just simple utility to allow mount such device
- TC uses dm-crypt anyway through dmsetup wrapper and such wrapper
is not possible for libcryptsetup use

But the license is showstopper here anyway.
