Cool!

Where is the patch?

How do you handle building dependencies (OpenSSL, iconv, zlib,
libltdl) ? Does it support building for 64 bits? Can the build be
automated from command line, without requiring modifications via GUI?

I only have VS2005, which version are you targeting? I think the basic
vs2005 project could also be used (or at least imported) with newer
versions verbatim, as OpenSC does not use .NET or any of the windows
frameworks that might require a newer version of VS. I don't think all
developers (who are not fulltime Windows developers by profession or
buy the latest MS developer tools as they are released) upgrade the OS
that often. I know I don't :)

There are only a few DLL-s and as many .exe-s as there are tools.
That's an OK number of targets (subprojects?).

Providing alternatives to the Windows nmake files is good.

Good native windows building would be useful to OpenSC.
What kind of place do you have in mind?

Cheers,
