It seems the setting in the Makefile of chan_capi about using CVS_HEAD is 
not correct. I don't know which version Asterisk at Home v1.0 is using, but try 
to change that setting. 
Anyway, the CVS_HEAD/UNSTABLE_CVS defines in chan_capi is not really good. I 
changed that to have a small configure script, which makes the correct 
settings depending the Asterisk version it is compiled against. I will soon 
release my version of a reworked chan_capi.
