Yes, I have been looking at OpenCT. According to the OpenCT Wiki
discussion about about OpenCT also happens on this mailing list.

As far as I know PCSC-lite doesn't support synchronous protocols
directly. Except that OpenCT looks much cleaner. So I decided to write
the driver for OpenCT.

I noticed that the OpenCT CCID driver is quite minimalistic. Is it still
maintained?
