64bit MacOS #48

The MacOS Arduino version has similar issues to
http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/detail?id=4.

The RXTX library shipped with Arduino-16 is very old, and doesn't work on
64bit Macs ( http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1246332304/1#1 ).

A work around is to check "Open in 32 Bit Mode" for Arduino, but updating
RXTX is a better option

The current librxtxSerial.jnilib only has i386 and ppc support and is from
2006.

You can grab a new one from http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/java/ which
supports i386, amd64, ppc, and ppc64.

It looks like just including the new version will fix the 64bit intel
problem... I
only have a 32bit intel Mac, so I can't tell for sure.

The next Arduino release (0017) will only include 32-bit versions of the Mac 
binary, meaning that they will work 
with the 32-bit version of the RXTX library.  I'm marking this "won't fix" 
because I'd rather wait until an RXTX 
release with 64-bit support instead of using a patched, third party version.

I filed this with RXTX
  http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128

probably should have done that first...
