winscard: add pcsc-lite helpers for upcoming(?) implementation

Hi,

looking for PCSC-card-reader support in Wine, I came across old mails from 2007.
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-May/057052.html

What's the current state of PCSC support in Wine? When I recently looked,
winscard seemed full of stubs.

OTOH, there's a company
http://www.starmoney.de/index.php?id=243
that seems to use Wine (and Darwine?) with card readers to make
its software available for Linux & Mac.  Also seems ~2007.

I believe that a winscard<->PCSC<->PCSC-Lite bridge would be much
easier to achieve than USB support in Wine.

Thanks for your help,
 Jörg Höhle

Hi,

There is a working binary winscard.dll for wine here :

http://www.idrix.fr/Root/SCard4Wine/winscard.tar.gz

But I'm waiting for official wine winscard too !

To my knowledge the integration of the patches by Mounir IDRASSI has been 
rejected due to missing automated tests. This is a problem since for a full 
test someone has to write/provide an IFD handler which emulates some stuff.

So far I haven't found some kind of virtual card reader - maybe attached to a 
virtual USB hub.

Regards
Heiko

IIRC, there was also a problem with the way it integration was done.
It assumed the types between the Windows scard API and the Linux one
were compatible, but in fact they may not be.  I don't recall that
this was ever addressed.
