Wow, that'd be awesome if you can do it. I agree that it's probably a
bug that the software doesn't respect the non-UI flag, but you're
right that it would be difficult to get the smartcard software fixed.

I understand it will take a while. I've looked at the OpenSSL code
before, and it wasn't a pleasant experience!

Thanks so much.
