The gnupg-pkcs11 is a standalone scdaemon and not patch, but it works 
only with gpgsm, so it won't solve the problem.

I've tried to make it work with gpg, but I had no success... It seems 
that it looks for specific card type? I didn't invest a lot of time 
in this, and we did not want to patch gpg code.
