but after reading the mails about PKCS#11 and #15:
  wouldn't it be a better way to implement these ?
  as far as i know ssh can deal with ssl certificates instead of ssh keys,
  but i never tried that.

That wasn't the goal of this project. We wanted to use our existing ssh
keys, and store them securely on a smartcard.

What you suggest is reasonable, and if someone were to implement it in a
reasonable way, I'm sure the code could be incorporated into openssh.
