Minor updates.
- Updated makefile to be more universally compatible by not requiring grep or ruby. - Edited XON/XOFF flow control usage, noting that FTDI-based Arduinos are known to work, but not Atmega8U2-based Arduino. Still officially not supported, but added for advanced users. - Minor edits.

| // Officially not supported due to problems involving USB-to-serial chip latency (Atmega8U2/FTDI) | ||||
| // when connecting to an Arduino through the USB port. This problem has to do with having no control | ||||
| // of the USB packets and causing standard terminal programs not being able to honor the XON/XOFF  | ||||
| // control characters on time. However, with specially programmed UI's or avoiding the USB interface | ||||
| // completely, XON/XOFF flow control should work. In any case, please report any successes to grbl | ||||

| // Officially not supported due to problems involving the Atmega8U2 USB-to-serial chips on current | ||||
| // future Arduinos boards. The firmware on these chips do not support XON/XOFF flow control  | ||||
| // characters and the intermediate buffer in the chips cause latency and overflow problems with | ||||
| // standard terminal programs. However, using specifically-programmed UI's to manage this latency  | ||||
| // problem has been confirmed to work, as well as, using older FTDI FT232RL-based Arduinos | ||||
| // (Duemilanove) since their firmaware correctly manage the XON/XOFF characters. Other unconfirmed | ||||
| // methods include using an FTDI board/cable or directly communicate on the RX/TX pins on the  | ||||
| // Arduino, both of which circumvent the Atmega8U2 chip altogether. In any case, please report any | ||||
