ok, great.  I'm pretty sure it won't break any other platforms, since it
doesn't modify any existing code.

I'm not sure, right now I don't even know the testpads for the UART on the
DX900, so it would be hard to test.  I do have a SMDK6400 development board,
which would be an excellent way to test the serial code - but I don't have any
WinCE based boot image for that board.

yes, I think fb_printf is the way to go, since the framebuffer is something
everyone has access to without any hardware modifications.  After all, HaReT
is a software tool and shouldn't rely on people soldring serial wires to their
boards.

then it would probably be good to delete those files?

I'll resubmit the patch without [commented-out]UART and vcp changes and test
the fb_printf support before doing so in a couple of days.
