2004-10-15  Werner Koch  <[email protected]>

	* status.h (STATUS_NEED_PASSPHRASE_PIN): New.
	* status.c (get_status_string): Added.
	* passphrase.c (ask_passphrase): Moved status printing to ..
	* cardglue.c (pin_cb): .. here and issue new status message.

So it is my fault.  Someone requested to have a new status message for
PIN and I have implemented this without thinking about possible
breaking other code.  In particular gpgme does not know about this new
status message and is thus won't call the passphrase callback.  I will
change this in gpgme.

The workaround and preferable soultion is to use gpg-agent.
