[Rxtx] RXTX fails on Windows when Bluetooth generates two COM ports

[boflor at gmail.com]

Afaik the windows BT stack is the only one with both incoming and 
outgoing ports for the same device (obviously i dont know all the bt 
stacks out there, but some experience with toshiba, widcomm and bluesoleil.)
The windows bt stack is notoriously horrible, try a different one, it 
will safe you a lot of time and anguish.
