Indeed, as you've discovered, the serial support on Windows only works with
win32eventreactor.

I think this would involve porting wxreactor to be based on win32eventreactor
instead of on selectreactor.  Ideally, this would be done generally so that
wxreactor could be used with /any/ other reactor, rather than being specific
to win32eventreactor, but it wouldn't necessarily have to be done that way.
