Hello!
Good job!

But opensc is not a standard/popular interface for 
smartcards... PKCS#11 is much more common interface, even 
opensc supply PKCS#11 interface.

May I take this patch and try to convert it to PKCS#11?
The problem is that I don't know openssl very well... But I 
think that this patch will help a lot.

I think that merging PKCS#11 code will be much better than 
merging opensc code, since it will allow more smartcard types 
to be used.
