timers_unix.c : remove sigint and sigterm catch
sdo : Allow multiple servers
The sdo transfer struct is not anymore referenced by server's node id but by
client or server number in the OD. Node id is not relevant in SDO transfert.
HOW TO configure CanFestival for a CO-PCICAN card for COMEDI in the kernel (optionally with Xenomai):



pre-actions:
- install the CO-PCICAN card
- install and load COMEDI and the corresponding driver co_pcican.ko
  (COMEDI sources are expected in /usr/src/comedi)

- optionally: install the Xenomai package
  (Xenomai sources are expected in /usr/xenomai)



- unpack the package to your target (if not already done)

- perform package configuration:
  sh ./configure --can=copcican_comedi --timers=kernel --kerneldir='/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build'

  optionally: use --timers=kernel_xeno for the realtime Xenomai timer functions

- patch the sed "s:-I:-I$(src)/:g" statement to
    's:-I../..:-I/canopeninstalldir:g' in drivers/unix/Makefile
    's:-I..:-I/canopeninstalldir:g'    in src/Makefile
  The original statement did not run on my computer !

- build the CanFestival Unix library:
  cd drivers/unix
  make

- build the CanFestival library:
  cd src
  make
  make install

- build the CO-PCICAN driver interface:
  cd drivers/can_copcican_comedi
  make
  make install

- build the example application (not for Xenomai):
  cd examples/test_copcican_comedi
  make
  make install

Run test_copcican_comedi with the insert.sh script to see it works...

For Xenomai please use the example /usr/src/scale-rt-canopendemo of the SCALE-RT distribution.
