New version of OpenSC not compatible with current OpenSSH port

[Kevin Oberman]

Good day,

I just learned that OpenSC 0.12.0, recently committed to ports is not
compatible with openssh-portable 5.2. It requires at least 5.3. As a
result, upgrading opensc is a serious problem for those of us depending
on SmartCards for SSH keys.

Could you mitigate this by:

Adding a note to UPDATING that upgrading opensc will break integration
with OpenSSH

Restoring the openssh-portable port to its state before the OPENSC and
OPENSCPINPATCH configuration options (along with the scardpin.patch file) were
removed? 

Also, does anyone know if work is going on to port 5.3p1 or more recent?
The current released version is 5.6p1.
