Is there no interest in this functionality, is there hesitance due to the recent malicious wallet tool, or am I just an impatient bastard?
There's one issue I didn't think of... currently there's no way to import a plaintext wallet. You'll have to manually encrypt with GPG the first time until I write some code to handle this.

Now (maybe) Linux compatible!
It's late, I'm tired, I'm going to keep this short.
I made it my goal to get this published tonight, and I did it. Binaries, Source
Absent encrypted private keys, I wanted a way to easily store my wallet encrypted. Absent solid import/export of private keys, I wanted a way to easily juggle multiple wallets. After a few weeks of writing and rewriting, this is what I came up with.
This is my first time doing the open source dance, let me know if there's anything I can do better. I know the repository is a mess, I just threw it together, I have to figure out some organizational structure. If anyone wants to throw together a windows installer package rather than the ClickOnce one I threw up there, please do.
Requirements:
gpg keyring (I use gpg4win)
Windows: .NET Framework 4
Linux: Mono 2.8[1]
Changes:
[1] 2011-02-24.
I just pushed some updates removing some libraries that are incompatible with Mono. Anybody using Linux care to try this out? Also in the update are some incomplete ideas... I want to (optionally) store the wallet's address book with the wallet settings, updating it periodically. When I complete my JSON-RPC client, you could transfer funds from your current wallet to another with a few clicks.

- Uses GPG (via BouncyCastle) to encrypt the wallets.
- Per-wallet GPG key choice
- Queries Bitcoin when running (if -server switch) to determine oldestkeypool
- Automatically backs wallets (encrypted) only when last backup is older than oldestkeypool
- Supports wallets on removable volumes (with notifications)
