I had not mentioned the major differences with v2
(which went to berlios SocketCAN mailing list only).

* replace magic constants with macro's
* use a static protocol stack, not a dynamic one.
* remove feature that have limited use and are
  difficult to explain.
* renamed some structure types to increase code readability. 
* block on transport sessions until CAN frame is queued.

* fix bugs.
