Okay, so we're more than halfway there, to solving this bug now, as of revision r526.

This revision adds support to mount.ecryptfs_private.c to mount and unmount multiple user-configurable ecryptfs directories. The current commit adds support to mount.ecryptfs_private to take one (and only one) option argument, an "alias" for a configuration file in ~/.ecryptfs/alias.conf, and the signature, which is ~/.ecryptfs/alias.sig.

What's missing to solve the rest of this bug is:
 * support in mount.ecryptfs_private.c to loop over a list of argv arguments, doing each mount
 * support in pam_ecryptfs to call mount.ecryptfs_private with some list of alias arguments.

So we're not there yet, but we're closer. Patches welcome. Thanks.
