In particular, what the SDK requires from the devices that actually read
the biometrics, and the API for communicating with such devices.
There is a lot of variation in how devices are handled across Unix
implementations. There is no uniform USB API, for instance, and POSIX
compliance doesn't require USB at all, as I recall.
Since many fingerprint scanners are USB devices, and Mac OS X's USB API is
not the same as, say, Linux or Solaris, it might take a fair amount of work
to create an Adapter level between the Biometric SDK and the low-level
devices.
