Open Serial Port resets Arduino board : please make it optional

[alka79]

since v0.3.4, open the Serial com port resets the board. #1134 (comment)

In many situations, you just want to open a com port to read messages WITHOUT reset.

In my experience, arduino automatically resets when you physically plug to the serial port and after upload, not when a remote Serial communication software opens a com port.

Is it possible to make this change optional ? ie let user decide if opening the com port resets or not the board.

The reset after upload is not concerned by this and should always remain.

Thanks for considering,
