2016_10_29.01 : bd_server.py AUTO detect fails to work for FTDI VCP.
  Description: 
    bd_server "AUTO" for COM# detection only works if launching 
    from command line. This also prevents sump2_launch.bat from working.        Workaround: 
    Workaround is to hard code the COM port. Replace AUTO with COM99 where 
    99 is VCP COM port number assigned by Windows. 
  Analysis: 
    Underlying problem is Python on Windows with         serial.tools.list_ports.comports(), it appears to ONLY report FTDI is 
    the description when launched from a DOS box. 
  Resolution:
    This is a Windows specific problem and a very low priority as Windows 
    has many other issues with VCP assignments. It is beneficial to be able
    to know how to enable VCP and know what COM# was assigned.
