I have added this (and removed the deflect entry from capi.conf) to CVS.

In addition, to make chan_capi find a free interface if all B-channels are 
used by Asterisk, I added a pseudo channel to each interface.
This additional channel is used if it is an incoming call and the 
variable BCHANNELINFO is '2' only.
Now you can check for BCHANNELINFO=2 to find out this is an call-waiting 
call and start capicommand(deflect|<number>), if you want activate call 
deflection on that call.

I have not fully tested it, but it should be possible to hangup/hold another 
call and accept the call-waiting call.

Maybe you want to test it :-)
