It would be wonderful to switch it for something else.  Unfortunately, it does
a lot of gluing between the lower-level operations (similarly available via
p11-kit) and the interfaces implemented in OpenVPN is fairly high-level.  So
this "glue code" which pkcs11-helper is, is not that trivial and last time I
checked the alternatives were scarce :(

Is this a Windows only issue?  Or is it present on other platforms as well?
If it's Windows only, I think we can get around it by patching it and ensuring
upstream is aware of this.  But if it is more platforms, patching
pkcs11-helper gets nasty quickly.
