When using PKCS11 library to manage smart cards the code assumes that all slots returned by the library call are not empty. In some cases Gemalto's library returns list of slots in which the first one is empty and the second is ocupied by the smart card, this causes xca to report error and isn't able to use the smart card. Attached patches fixes this issue as records only non-empty slots.

    SF bug #124 Wrong assumptions about slots returned by PKCS11 library

When using PKCS11 library to manage smart cards the code assumes
that all slots returned by the library call are not empty.
In some cases Gemalto's library returns list of slots in which the
first one is empty and the second one is occupied by the smart card,
this causes xca to report an error and isn't able to use the smart card.
