The pcsc-lite I maintain is far from the pcsc-lite Apple forked some years ago.
They are not equivalent.

The "official" pcsc-lite do not support securityd, do not support both
32 and 64-bits drivers, do not support Roseta, etc.
I do NOT recommand (or even suggest) to use the official pcsc-lite on Mac OS X.

As I wrote in my previous email a lot of work is needed to merge the 2 versions.
