For what it's worth, we were also considering using libopensc for smart
card abstraction, but in the end chose another library because the
public interface to libopensc was removed in svn.

Also, Martin's opensc tokend uses libopensc directly, which makes it
very painful to build. Instead of building against the public headers,
the tokend needs whole opensc source tree for building.
