Ctypes wrapper module for IXXAT Virtual CAN Interface V3 on win32 systems

Copyright (C) 2016 Giuseppe Corbelli <giuseppe.corbelli@weightpack.com>

TODO: We could implement this interface such that setting other filters
      could work when the initial filters were set to zero using the
      software fallback. Or could the software filters even be changed
      after the connection was opened? We need to document that bahaviour!
      See also the NICAN interface.

        using the ``can_filters`` parameter. Using :meth:`~can.interfaces.ixxat.IXXATBus.set_filters`
        does not work.
