Hi Mike

You should look again - lots of non-M$ products use this API. e.g
openvpn for Windows allows you to use the personal cert that other M$
components like MSIE uses - see " cryptoapicert"

--cryptoapicert select-string
              Load  the  certificate and private key from the Windows
Certifi-
              cate System Store (Windows Only).

              Use this option instead of --cert and --key.

              This makes it possible to use any smart card, supported
by  Win-
              dows,  but  also  any  kind of certificate, residing in
the Cert
              Store, where you have access to the private  key.   This 
option
              has been tested with a couple of different smart cards
(GemSAFE,
              Cryptoflex, and Swedish Post Office eID) on the client
side, and
              also an imported PKCS12 software certificate on the server
side.
