Linux distribution that can read and recover TrueCrypt encrypted data/partition

I want a CD/USB bootable "live" linux distribution that can:

• read a truecrypt volume


• mount local drives

Ubuntu Privacy Remix seemed perfect, but it explicitly cannot see local drives (kernel source modified, as discussed here).

I want to use this distribution for backup/data recovery purposes, as in this question. For example, I might want to use truecrypt to decrypt the local drive and back it up unencrypted. Or, I might want to back up an unencrypted local drive to a truecrypt encrypted backup drive. Or both.

Yes, it really really must be truecrypt (or something that can safely read/write truecrypt partitions...). LUKS is great, but not if I have an existing truecrypt partition that I have to deal with.

I'm aware that it is possible to boot one of the many live distros that doesn't have truecrypt, plug in a usb device with truecrypt on it, install truecrypt, and then use it for the above purposes. But that's painful and inelegant. Hence my question.
