Some bits about SCdaemon

Hi,

For the GUUG [1] spring conference, I wrote an article on
the design
of the SCdaemon, GnuPG-2's module to access smartcards:

  For GnuPG 2.0 a new framework to access smart cards has
been
  developed.  It is based on a daemon process and designed
as a
  replacement for the PC/SC architecture.  The problems of
PC/SC as
  and the new solution are described.  The new API as well
as an
  introduction on how supporting code for new smart cards
needs to be
  written is given.  Further we briefly describe a PKCS#11
connector
  based on this API.
