there are a few smart card applications that work directly on pcsc: * gpshell (tool for managing java cards) * home banking applications with hbci smart cards also openct supports a number of tokens and readers without pcsc drivers (or only binary only drivers for selected plattforms). I started "usbtoken" (predecessor to openct), because I didn't want to maintain T=1 and the whole framework code once for every driver. if we want to get rid of openct, maybe we can find a way to use ccid code to implement other drivers as well? after all many openct drivers have ~20 lines of real code: detect the device and a simpel i/o code that puts T=1 blocks in a usb control transfer package.
