Maybe in future...

None is working on C++ library at current time... Can I mark you as
maintainer of C++ library?

Main reason is that in driver were very much #ifdef's for all 2.1 kernels
and I removed this in 0.0.6 driver for code cleanup, remains only code
which should be compiled under 2.1.89. For me is a little bit hard trace
