It depends on what part of the TrueCrypt feature set we want to
provide alternatives for. I am not sure we want to, and can, provide
alternatives for the whole TrueCrypt feature set.

E.g.:

  - multi-platform encrypted volumes: IIRC dm-crypt / LUKS volumes are
    usable on Windows thanks to FreeOTFE; OSX?
  - hidden volumes: doable using plain dm-crypt / cryptsetup (no
    LUKS), but
    * multi-platform?
    * no proper GUI
  - other features?


Bye,
