Great. I'm on interest.

I don't known at all openct and ctapi, but if the solution is to separate in
three module like you say why not. Now the trouble is to maintain this three
modules, like ctapi seems don't have maintainer what about openct. Perhaps it's
time to drop some useless module and keep only two or better one module, the
use is no so huge to spend a lot of time for very small use case.
So I suggest to keep only pcsc that is present linux, windows and mac, but
it's my point of view.
François.
