[Cryptography] Fork of TrueCrypt

An auto-update feature pinging the server would alert any network snooper
of exactly who was using the TrueCrypt fork.  From a security point of
view, auto-update is DOA.

I read some more posts over on truecrypt.ch.  The more technical of the two
guys behind it wonders if he can buy out the zulucrypt guys.  He's
definitely thinking of this as his new startup rather than a FOSS effort.
>From that point of view, auto-update makes sense.  I am losing confidence
in this team.  It seems they're just interested in cashing in on TrueCrypt.
