New Revision: 5705

URL: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pcsclite/?sc=1&rev=5705
Log:
Fix: "start pcscd only when a reader is connected"
and "do not open the reader USB device if no client is using the reader"

Now that pcscd is auto started it will be started only if an appication
is using the PC/SC API. This is the case since release 1.6.0:
- SCardEstablishContext(): try to start the pcscd daemon if not already
  running.
  . pcscd will suicide itself after 60 seconds of inactivity if it is
  started using --auto-exit. This is the default behavior when pcscd is
  started by libpcsclite
  . Set PCSCLITE_PCSCD_ARGS with the argument you want to pass to pcscd in
  autostart Only one argument is passed. The space character is not a
  separator. example: export PCSCLITE_PCSCD_ARGS=-dfa
