We were testing with IdAlly, and that was working with opensc 0.11.4

Actually we use Kerberos, and use a PuTTY with GSSAPI. Don't have
a need for the PuTTY in SCB.

The additional complexity is the need for the wing packages and a Linux
system to use to build.

Probable not.

That would work. Will look at it.

Yes.

I am not building dirctly from Windows either. I have the source
in AFS and accessable by Windows, Solaris ands Unix, so I can build
all three from the same source.

When using svn, I have to run the ./bootstrap on the source directory.
After that the builds are done in separate directories.

OK.

No.

Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree :-)
