ok, so always both software packages are notified about a new device,
and we need to somehow manage which one gets the smart card reader
(i.e. unless you disable one we have a race with an unpredictable outcome).
not perfect, but fine with me.

new topic: usb crypto tokens
I think we should have both "smart_card_reader" and "usb_crypto_token"
for those token with internal smart cards (e.g. aladdin etoken pro and 
friends). it could confuse the users if we say they are smart card readers.
