Nice that you picked up my code.

However, I do not think that this is worth applying.  If I'd have
another view on this, I'd already have asked for inclusion.

The future for such tasks is fprintd.

Also, as you've sent my code to this list I want to emphasize a big
warning:

In case the user decides to use a password for authentication (e.g.
doesn't swipe his fingerprint) the fingerprint reader device is likely
to remain in a undefined state.  This causes many devices to heat up.

If you want to get this done properly please help enhancing fprintd.

Thanks.

   Timo
