well, it's written against master.  You'd have to rebase it against
2.24 which would may be a little work I think.

To test it you need to first check out the source:

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gdm
git checkout -b multi-stack origin/multi-stack

Then either run
./autogen.sh --what-ever-distro-flags-you-need-here
make
make install

or create a tarball
./autogen.sh
make dist
and then rebuild it as a distro package.

You'll may need to update the gdm-smartcard.pam file in the source
tree to work with your distribution.

Also, make sure you have pcscd installed and running and pay attention
to this temporary commit that's in the tree:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?h=multi-stack&id=44989d35c4be6533cab963871ee91a1f223c63e9

If pcscd is writing its pid file anywhere else you'll need to update that code.

Hope that helps.
