I think it's one of the best launchers ever because it's tiny,
simple, highly configurable, works with U3 drives and best,
it has built-in support for truecrypt-volumes .
However the dismount-function seems to be broken after truecrypt upgraded
to version 5x.
Any chance of a new version sometime or is the project officially dead ?
If it is :
Thank you for a great application, I like it so much that I might downgrade
truecrypt so it still works flawlessly

I contacted René (the author) last month about this same issue, and he expressed an interest in fixing it in the next update of Autostart. But then, before the Liberta project homepage went down, there was something there about a new version being out last September or thereabouts, so, it sounds like a case of willing, but short on time
The source code to Autostart is in SVN on sourceforge, but you'll need Microsoft Visual C++ to compile it (not just the express edition, either).
For now, I'm happily back with TrueCrypt 4.3a, and no regrets. The only thing in 5.0 that I might be interested in is the whole disk encryption, but I prefer to keep Autostart working.
I don't think the parameters to dismount have actually changed.
But any new volume created with 5.0, 5,0a and 5.1 will not be readable with 4.3a.
Shame it uses Visual C, because I think they should have switched to wxDev-C++
It seems to communicate directly with the driver in-memory.
It also makes no difference whether you're working with a 4.x series or 5.x series container. It simply isn't able to dismount them. They read fine, that isn't the issue.
And if you're volunteering to port it to wxDev-c++, that's great
but... it doesn't exactly have a GUI, so you won't need the 'wx' bits 
Oh, and it makes some use of some of the windows library code for which the headers are only supplied with the commercial versions of VC++, hence the not working in Express Edition, so you may have to reinvent a wheel or two, here or there 
If you install the platform sdk you can use api functions. (Or just use the latest version.)
