After discussing with Bob Frazier, he had trouble applying my patch and
tried to manually get to the same goal as it had but missed the changes added
by patch-src-gnu-io-RXTXCommDriver.java which does the same as his last
listed patch.
We both have success under openjdk; made the SerialImp patches unneeded by
Bob. After giving some thought to requiring openjdk, the only way I see to do
it is to test JAVA_PORT_VENDOR and list as ignore with a message saying it is
only for JAVA_VERSION=openjdk but it has worked with other JDKs to talk to my
device through a USB port successfully.
It seems handy to have comms/rxtx be able to be installed multiple times
with different JAVA_VENDOR values, but upgrading is then not a clear path as
it would require rebuilding the port with the knowledge of that variable on
each build.
