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
