util linux and dm crypt

[wrobell]

I've just tested dm crypt support for util-linux (mount command exactly).
It seems, that it works good. Example of usage:

  mount -t iso9660 -o encryption=aes:256:sha512,loop image.iso /media/cdrom

The problem is that mount depends on following packages, now:

    cryptsetup
    libgcrypt
    libgpg-error

These packages contain libraries in /usr:

    /usr/lib/libcryptsetup.so
    /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so
    /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so

It is not acceptable because mount command is sometimes required to mount
/usr depending on system setup.

Two solutions:
1. Move above libraries to /lib
2. Compile dm crypt support statically

I would prefer first solution. Any flames?
