Serial Port I/O

A simple library for interacting with serial peripherals. I looked at rxtx and various forks but decided they were all too complicated and that I could do better so I wrote a simple version of the library.

My library is called simplerxtx and uses the package names gnu.io.simplerxtx. It is certainly limited but provides a great example for writing a JNI library on Linux and Windows.
