Merging with other requests. As mentioned in other bugs, my concern is
primarily that of combinatorial explosion with other features. I have
already requested that somebody take on the job of arranging for the
smart card libraries to be opened using dlopen, which would allow this
feature to be shipped by default without imposing extra dependency
requirements. To date, nobody seems to have volunteered.

Cheers,
