Not right now, but thanks. The difficulty with getting pcscd working on
GuixSD is that the daemon expects to find all drivers in one location
(e.g. /var/lib/pcsc/drivers). So we need to populate this directory with
drivers before starting the service.

On foreign (non-GuixSD) distros this is not a problem, as gpg users are
expected to use the pcscd service provided by their system anyway.

Anyway, the patches look good, I've made the following minor changes:

* moved pcsc-lite to the newly created "security-token.scm";
* made eudev a regular input instead of propagated;
* renamed the gnupg patch phase and removed superfluous "outputs" key;
* added a configure flag to pcsc so that GuixSD users can manually add
  drivers to "/var/lib/pcsc/drivers" (default is $out/lib/pcsc/drivers).

Also adjusted the commit messages accordingly. Pushed as
