Sure, will do.

I was actually thinking of some way for it to be plug and play, rather
than requiring a reboot or root access to do this, but I think I can
figure it out pretty easily, and I'll include it in the page.

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

An intresting idea, using the existence of a specific connected USB devices, such as a pen drive, to act as a key. Maybe through the use of the filesystem's serial number or UUID, or some form of unique identifier from the device?
