[Coco] RaspberryPI DriveWire server

[Aaron Wolfe]

DW works fine with the default Raspian image.  You will need to
install the openjdk-jre and lib-rxtx packages.
You also must edit the configuration (this will change in a future
version and you won't need to).

Edit config.xml and change LoadRXTX to false, i.e.:

<LoadRXTX>false</LoadRXTX>

If LoadRXTX is not present in your config, just add it anywhere in the
default dwconfig section (not inside the instance).

You can now run DW4 in server mode (UI does not work at this time, but
will soon.  You wanted headless anyway so not an issue).
To start in headless mode:

cd /wherever/you/unzipped/dw4

java -jar DW4UI.jar --noui

That's it.
