Great!

Is this really necessary? I do not like to add configuration switches 
for stuff that does not need to be configurable. It is not like we are 
adding full hardware handshake ...

Currently, RTS is always inactive, so it must be ignored by anyone 
talking to such a target board.

If we make RTS always active, this should cause no harm, but make it 
possible to talk to the board using a terminal program that has RTS/CTS 
handshaking activated.
