[Rxtx] cross compilation for the mac

[Andre-John Mas]

It should be doable. XCode hands off the compilation process to
gcc et al, for the compilation of C/C++ code and to javac et al.
for the Java side.

While ant is the favoured tool for 'automated' Java compilation,
make can easily be used. All is needed is someone to volounteer
to do the work.
