Hi Christina -

I had to put work on this aside for a few days, but am getting back to 
it.  I've had uneven results.  The time that I got the HSM to show up 
with the slots, but I didn't get the "Login" button.  This time, I 
didn't even get the HSM to show up.  The first time, I added the HSM 
manually, the second via a mod to the create script.  Still working my 
way through it.

I modified pki_create_instance to add both the Utimaco library and the 
Coolkey PKCS11 libary.   I had to turn off SELinux enforcement to get 
Coolkey to show up on the list, but even then, the Utimaco lib didn't.   
I haven't had a chance to go back and check again.
