The opensc engine only supported keys in the HSM but was
not useful for general acceleration. The reverse was true
for the openssl PKCS#11 engine.
I've fixes for pkcs11_engine-0.9.8e.patch.2007-10-02 which
make complete the changes in 2007-10-02 to do both. The
current code tries to retrieve too much from the HSM and
fails.
