[Muscle] new version available: pcsc-lite 1.4.100

[Ludovic Rousseau]

Hello,

A new version of pcsc-lite is available [1]. This version uses libhal
events instead of polling the USB bus to detect card readers
insertion/removal. pcscd will then consume zero CPU cycle when no
reader is connected. powertop [2] should be more happy.

pcsc-lite-1.4.100: Ludovic Rousseau
23 March 2008
- add libhal support to avoid polling the USB bus.  libusb is still
  supported but libhal is now the default
- improve performances in SCardConnect(), SCardReconnect(),
  SCardDisconnect(). Thanks to Sean Wykes for the patch
- SCardListReaders(): returns SCARD_E_NO_READERS_AVAILABLE when no
  reader are available.  Thanks to Thomas Harning for the bug report
- add support of TAG_IFD_POLLING_THREAD to use an asynchronous card
  movements detection instead of an active polling. The reader driver
  need to support TAG_IFD_POLLING_THREAD to use this feature
- CardCheckDaemonAvailability(): lower the priority of the log message
  in case of "PCSC Not Running" or "PCSC restarted" so that nothing is
  logged by default.  PCSCLITE_DEBUG can be defined to see the message.
  Programs linked with libpcsclite will not display anything if pcscd is
  not running. Solves Red Hat bug 428299.
- default log level is PCSC_LOG_CRITICAL+1 so that NO log is sent to
  stderr by default. You need to explicitly set PCSCLITE_DEBUG to have
  logs. (in a library stderr(2) can be any file opened with fd=2 so
  should not be used)
- ifdhandler-3.tex: more details about deviceName argument of
  IFDHCreateChannelByName()
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
