disabling pcsc-lite integration

Hi,

as far as I remember older versions of the configure script
in openct
had the possibility to disable support for pcsc-lite.
Version 0.6.11 and
0.6.12-pre2 do not know "--with-pcsclite=no"
anymore.

If pcsc-lite is _not_ available I see this during
configuration phase:

  configure: WARNING: reader.h not found, install pcsc-lite
1.2.9-beta8 or
  later, or use PCSC_CFLAGS=... ./configure
  ...
  PC/SC support:       no
  ...

and it looks to me as if building without pcsc-lite is still
supported
but cannot be turned off explicitly.

Is this behaviour intended?
If building without pcsc-lite is supported why not keep the
option to
disable it despite automatic discovery by 'configure'?

ciao
     Klaus

dpkg --purge libpcsclite-dev; ./configure; apt-get install
libpcsclite-dev
will get you what you need. I don't get why we need extra
code
in openct to manage what you can easily archive without. but
we already
added code to opensc for the sake of pleasing everyone, I
can copy the
same code to openct as well, if you want.

I thought on the lines of "keep it simple" and
"small is beautifull" 

autoconf is a beast to maintain. less code makes it a bit
easier.
