My ThinkPad T43 should have TPM, but getting it working was not exactly
trivial and I don't know whether the security chip is now more or less
completely locked or what it is doing since it does not likely any
passwords/PINs.. Software emulated TPM or soft token did not seem to
work much better either. I wasted enough time with this, so unless you
can point me to a good howto or step-by-step guide for setting this up
(and clearing whatever mess there is first ;-), I think I'll just leave
this waiting for opensc getting support for the external smartcards I
have..

Thanks! I applied the patches with some minor cleanup.
