With increased reports of stolen wallets, I humbly submit that wallet
crypto should be a top priority for the next version.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/232
Anyway... start pulling :)

I humbly suggest allowing the wallet.dat location to be specified in the preferences. Being able to easily physically disconnect a wallet by unplugging a USB key seems like a good idea.
cheers,
Mark

That's what -datadir is for. Unfortunately -all- databases must be in
the datadir, because wallet.dat is a berkeley db, and we need a
transactional environment. That makes it difficult to move just one
file.

I am a Berkley DB ignoramus , but how is specifying the wallet file
path different than using a symlink?
Also I think that allowing the user to open more than one wallet helps
the user develop an intuition for the system.
A simple task like opening transferring coins from one to the other is
currently very awkward on the same installation.
