[CentOS] pkcs#11, openssl, etc

anyone know anything about using openssl 0.9.7b in EL4 w/ pkcs#11 supported smartcard/etokens?

I need to figure out how to set this up so a webclient application can use token based certificate with a https connection to the tomcat xmlrpc server with a minimum of fuss. the actual client app is in python but will be using m2Crypto which in turn uses openssl.

i CAn find lots on login w/ tokens, and web browser with tokens, but very few clues about doing this with openssl. supposedly the hardware token support was a patch/hack for openssl 0.9.6 and is an available compile option in .7b which is what EL4 uses...

I've searched upstream's KB without finding anything useful...
