[xmlsec] xmlsec1 and pkcs11

Hi Miklos,

I tried LibreOffice with NSS backend and I was able to sign ODT
document with the key on the token. I was asked for PIN in GUI.

So the question for the audience is - how to pass PIN to NSS in xmlsec1
cli?

The last possible problem can be in KeyName so the other question is -
is the described process to guess KeyName from token correct?

Regards,
Jaromir
