[Xastir] comport under andlinux

There was no mention of any serial ports there. I thought that might
be the case, but it was probably worth checking.
Since andlinux is running under Windows, there may be some
configuration required to map the ports so that Linux can see them.
The andlinux forum is probably the best place to ask. I have never
tried Linux emulation under Windows, only the reverse (using Win4Lin
or VMWare several years ago), but it sounds interesting.
