There are different implementations for RS232 support:
- bitbanging
- USART polling (without interrupts)
- USART with interrupts, unbuffered
- USART with interrupts, buffered
- USART with interrupts, buffered and automatic CTS flow control
And then there are differences in available functions for the 
application: some are simple and rigid, some are suffisticated and 
flexible. Not every lib is suitable for every application (for example 
because of memory or cycle constraints), so it is good to have several 
libs available. But we probably need a table of features for users to to 
be able to select the proper library.

The library I'm working on is of the type of the last in the list above. 
It has currently only 2 application program functions: send_byte() and 
receive_byte(). It is meant for an application which is very busy and 
has limited time slots to process commands from the PC application.

Regards, Rob.
