Serial Communication Library

Note about Repository Changes

If you had the serial library checked previously and now those settings seem broken, it is because I recently reorganized the serial repository. I wanted these checkouts to break so that you were forced to update.

If you previously were using the master branch, that version is now under the git tag v0.1.

If you were previously using the boostless branch, that version is now tagged as v0.2 or boostless.

If you were previously using the new_api branch, that has become the new master branch and is also tagged v1.0.1.
