-PC/SC-lite (Personal Computer/Smart Card interface)
+PC/SC-lite is a middleware to access a smart card using SCard API (PC/SC)
+Its purpose is to provide a Windows(R) SCard interface in a very small
+form factor for communicating to smart cards and readers.

-Compiling with "DEBUGATR=1 ./pcsc-lite.SlackBuild" enables ATR parsing debug
-output messages. Compiling with "APIDOC=1 ./pcsc-lite.SlackBuild" produces
-API .pdf documentation (for ifd handlers only, mainly intended for developers).

pcsc-lite uses libhal for smart-card reader's detection, according to
-upstream's advice. If you want to use usb polling, you can pass "HALD=0"
-to the script when building in order to use libusb for detecting your reader
-(be aware that, using libusb, if your reader can be managed at the same time
-by the openct driver *and* by the pcsc-lite driver, so you may experience
-some detection issues).
