Kyle Isom posted this port in October 2011 [1].  I have tested it on
i386 and amd64 on recent snapshots (last week's) and it works well for
me, so I would like to commit it.  abieber@ has also tested this on
i386, amd64 and macppc in April [2].

Here's its pkg/DESCR as a reminder of what it does:

===
As its name suggests, picocom is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation
program.  It is, in principle, very much like minicom, only it's pico
instead of mini!

Picocom was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem configuration,
testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite well) as a
low-tech "terminal-window" to allow operator intervention in PPP
connection scripts (something like the ms-windows "open terminal window
before / after dialing" feature). It could also prove useful in many
other similar tasks.

Picocom is ideal for embedded systems since its memory footprint is
minimal (less than 20K, when stripped).

Looking for ok's.

Thanks,
Lawrence
