Questions about Encrypted Home in Jaunty

[Evan]

Just noticed this option in the Jaunty installer, and I really like the
concept, but it raises a few questions:

Will my files be decryptable by third-party encryption applications such as
Truecrypt? While I would like to encrypt my files, being able to access them
from outside Ubuntu is important. Being able to use Truecrypt on Windows to
view my encrypted files would be very helpful.

I have my home folder on a separate partition from root. If I encrypt my
home folder, then reinstall to the root partition without touching home,
will I still be able to access my files (assuming I install with the same
username/password)?
