Merged your improvement to original picocom

[npat-efault]

Hi,

I'm the original author of picocom.

Someone tipped me about your fork. Having line-editing and path-completion support when entering filenames for send- and receive- file operations is indeed very neat! Furthermore the linenoise library has adequately small footprint to affect only minimally the "pico" character of picocom.

So, I have merged your additions / improvements to the original picocom with a couple of very minor tweaks: I made the linenoise support optional (you can compile it out by commenting-out a couple of lines in the Makefile). I changed the way C-c is handled when entering a filename (the transfer operation is canceled, instead of exiting picocom). I fixed a potential bug in init_send_receive_history() (I'll file a separate issue for this). And... that's all.

I hope you don't mind.

It would be great if you could take a look at my merge and see if I have fucked-up something obvious...

The code can be checked out from the SVN trunk by:

  svn http://picocom.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ./picocom

Soon I will stamp-out a new release (1.8) with the new features.

Thanks for helping improve picocom!

Cheers

Since it seems that googlecode is closing down, I have moved the picocom project to github.

Nick,

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm really happy to see these changes
getting into picocom. At my last job we were developing for a medical
device and used picocom to update programs on the device via the serial
connection constantly so having the completion was a huge help.
Unfortunately I'm no longer at that job but the colleagues I left behind
will be thrilled. I looked over your changes and they look good. I don't
have the dev environment setup anymore to test it out.
