[Tokend-Dev] PKCS#11 Tokend module?

[Cristian Thiago Moecke]

Yes, this looks like what I need. That is great! I'll take a look and 
will be happy to test and help on what is needed.

Is there any "begginers" tutorial to tokend development? Is my first 
time with xcode, I'm sure I'll get it to compile and get rid of the 
thousands of errors that appear when I open the xcode project, after 
some googling... but some quick starter tips may help :)

Thaks a lot again.
