If the CSP you refer to is the MS Windows based Crypto API (CAPI) interface,
we are considering it as a CTIL offering.  The PKCS11 interface should work
fine for you, even if it is not one of our supported interfaces.  The PKCS11
CTIL is very generalized, taking the name of a DLL file containing the
PKCS11 library.  If you are using a library not directly supported, it may
require some minor modifications to align private keys to certificates (each
vendor appears to have their own method, this is ambiguous in the
specification).

Thanks for your explanations about the licences. Now it is all clear. I hope

I was not too pedantic.
I have a new question. Recently I was trying to interface a PKCS#11 library 
to the SFL. Another possibility I analyzed was to use a Cryptographic 
Service Provider (CSP) in place of PKCS#11. Is a "CSP CTIL" in your future 
plans?

Thanks for help
