I would hope so, but I would expect that they would want to see
that OpenSC has commited their part first and finalized the
parameters.

Note the way the patch is today, it assumes the certificate can be
read without providing a pin. If that is a problem, code could
be added, as it is in the pkcs11_load_key or it could be assumed
that the applicaiton would have to call the ENGINE_load_private_key
first.

I agree, the parsing could be in a seperate function, which would eliminate
90% of the mod. I was trying to keep the patch simple, and not touch
any other code if possible, so copied I copied the parsing.

OK, I will look a this today.
