I've done exactly that as part of a side project.  I will be making real
boards, but for now I implemented two of these devices using our
ReadyBoard-02.  As far as I can tell it's working great.  I've got a host
test app that allows for sending and receiving bus frames.  I wasn't really
ready to put the stuff our there publicly yet, but I just uploaded the
schematic to http://www.embedinc.com/temp/hcan0.pdf.
