The use of CHANNELID in /etc/reader.conf (and then /dev/pcsc/*) is now
deprecated. The drivers should implement IFDHCreateChannelByName [1]
from the ifd handler API version 3.0 and use DEVICENAME instead.

/dev/pcsc/ was a good idea but it is difficult to use with a dynamic
/dev filesystem (devfs or udev).
