not very portable either.

Here's the fix that's in 1.4.3-cvs:

#ifdef ENABLE_CARD_SUPPORT
#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
    opt.pcsc_driver = "winscard.dll";
#elif defined(__APPLE__)
    opt.pcsc_driver = "/System/Library/Frameworks/PCSC.framework/PCSC";
#else
    opt.pcsc_driver = "libpcsclite.so";
#endif
#endif /*ENABLE_CARD_SUPPORT*/
