+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).
-NOTE: drivers are not included and must be compiled and installed separately.
-See DRIVERS file in pcsc-lite's doc directory for more information on getting
-and installing specific drivers. pcsc-lite is compiled with the
---enable-usbdropdir=<libdir>/pcsc/drivers flag -- this directory will be the
-destination for usb readers' drivers (ccid, cardman, and others).

-For serial and pcmcia readers only, it is necessary to edit files in
-/etc/reader.conf.d/ and run "/usr/sbin/update-reader.conf".
-
-To start PC/SC-lite daemon, run "/etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start".
-For pcmcia readers, this daemon should be started after rc.pcmcia - this is
-most easily accomplished by adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
- if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd ]; then
- /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start
