The preferences pane doesn't offer any way to specify the datadir/wallet.dat location. This can be done with command-line flags (though this is a bit tricky on OS X), but that's awkward for the average user (and breaks when the user launches bitcoin from Spotlight or a default icon). This would be useful for people who travel a lot (or just want security) and want to keep their wallet.dat on a keychain USB drive.

+1 (and why not a wallet as a directory of addresses, or a single plain text file, so we can recreate, merge, split wallets very easily, without special tools)
