5.2 already has support for attaching GBDE volumes at boot by using the
/etc/rc.d/gbde script.  I have been using it for a while, and it works
OK.

I sent a patch yesterday to the freebsd-rc mailing list make the gbde
rc.d script work a bit better (see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/659 ).

I think it's better to just use a rc.d script to attach gbde volumes
before the normal filesystem mount, since it seems more "clean". Of
course the rc.d script could be enhanced e.g. to support random keys,
like your "temp" feature.
