Lion + File Vault encrypt home directory only

[Cheetah Designs]

Hi there,

I only have files that are in my home directory that I want to encrypt. Is there any way I can set File Vault to encrypt only certain folders rather than the whole disk.

The reason being is that any time I delete something that is big, it has to do it securely and it takes ages.

Thanks.

Well if I can't do that....can anyone recommend me some software that will allow me to encrypt a few files and just file up and unlock the files when I need.

It truecrypt good for this?

Is there any way that I can set it up so that when I launch truecrypt, it simply prompts me for the user password, mounts the encrypted file/partition and when i close truecrypt it unmounts it?

EDIT: Hang on, i remember reading that you can do this with inbuilt OSX software, that would be far preferable but I can't find the article.
