Having wallet.dat inside a folder alone, would allow the symlink/encryption only of that folder without having to encrypt the entire block chain inside a TrueCrypt volume.
This would make it easier to handle, encrypt and backup multiple wallets.

Makes sense and should not be that hard to implement IMHO.

There is no discussion that this would be a good idea. The obvious implementation is splitting the BDB database environment in two; one for addr.dat and blkindex.dat, and one per open wallet file. But I believe that even stronger, the wallet does not fit in BDB's database model at all, and should be replaced by something that does not require an entire directory with environment information just to keep it in a consistent state.
