I don't like packages that enable optional features automatically. Users/packagers should choose what they wish and enable dependency explicitly. In this case, nsplugin seldom used anyway, and there is not much sense in enabling both pcsc and openct. And if the user has for some strange reason openct installed, does it mean the result of OpenSC compilation should depend on it? I truly think users are able to choose, and I am sure distro packagers will enable the features by the dependency of their packages. > > 9.

I also think that Windows does not need libltdl... Is there any reason to use it at *NIX? I don't think .la files are used anyway...
