I made a driver for OmniKey 1021 available @ http://ideelabor.ee/downloads/ifd-ok1021os-leopard.dmg 
  as this is a popular reader in Estonia and it just did not work with  
Leopard.

What I don't know how to do: how could the CCID driver be built/ 
bundled to behave/replace the current CCIDClassDriver so that one  
driver bundle would work with all supported hardware (currently you  
can build it for a single device only). If this could be solved we  
could have a binary release and everybody would be happy.

There are problems as well. Eutron simpocket combo did not work for  
example. And there are some hairy errors in pcscd.

No conflicts currently. Its just another driver. A universal CCID  
class driver might do some harm/be replaced on upgrade.

I'm already getting used to it.
