[dorkbotpdx-blabber] skip dorkboard serial delay?

[Donald Delmar Davis]

The delay is because the dtr is pulled resetting the board. This is  
less easy to disable than a body would like. I have been thinking  
about a couple of approaches to this, one of which would change the  
behavior of the benito based on the baud rate selected. If the baud  
rate is set to 19.2k (the default for talking to the bootloader) the  
benito would assert the dtr/reset. If it was at 9600 (the default for  
talking from the arduinos serial doohickey) the dtr/reset would not be  
asserted. I had also considered changing the mode from serial to  
programmer at 28.8k (a hardy used baud rate in todays post landline/ 
modem world).. This would not help the ftdi folk in any way but I am  
curious what the benito/dorkboard people think about this idea.
