I found this:
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2362

and it was actually helpful :)
basically, all you have to do is edit SIPconfig.xml and run SIP server with 
perl -IC4/SIP -MILS C4/SIP/SIPServer.pm C4/SIP/SIPconfig.xml

Until now we tested SIP2 with emulator and the real self-check station
(3M), and it works fine, except that we still have problems with
Croatian diacritics. 
In the current phase of our implementation that is still not priority,
and we have really lot to do before self-check, so we didn't come to that
yet.

We are preparing our libraries to move into the new building and we
started to put tags on books.
