Do not use the "LoaderBlock->u.I386.CommonDataArea;" hack to use FreeLdr's DbgPrint function inside KDCOM, for the simple reason that while it works when KDCOM just initializes, the memory area where FreeLdr's DbgPrint function is, gets erased when ReactOS is running. As a result, all attempts to call the DbgPrint function when tracing something in KDCOM at the end of life of ReactOS, just fails lamentably (it hangs).
We therefore cannot rely on external code to provide us with DbgPrint. Instead, implement a very simple DbgPrint function inside KDCOM, as done by KDGDB.
The KD serial port serving for debugging KDCOM is chosen dynamically amongst the other free COM ports.
This needs to be also fixed in KDVM.
[KDGDB]
Instead of hardcoding the KD serial port number serving for debugging KDGDB, determine it dynamically amongst the other free COM ports.

Implement a virtualkd compatible kernel debugger transport DLL. I started this, because I didn't manage to get the original one working, but it turned out, the original one works, you only need to use the correct virtualkd version. Anyway, it's there now. A virtualkd version that works with VBox 4.3.16+ can be found here: http://forum.sysprogs.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3370 or here: http://public.avast.com/~hnanicek/VirtualKd.zip
The folder is called kdvm, since I thought about adding support for VMWare as well, but here the original one probably works as well.
Also fix my email address in some files.

- FreeLdr is able now to load personalized Kernel Debugger Transport DLLs by reading at the kernel command line and interpreting the /DEBUGPORT=xxx entry (--> loads KDxxx.DLL dll in \SystemRoot\System32\).
Therefore we can not only load the "default" kdcom.dll, but also 3rd-party ones such as kdbazis.dll from VirtualKD (from revision 58902).
- The GCC-compiled-only version of kdcom, containing legacy COM code, was removed and put directly along KDBG. It remains only a stub / template for future kdcom-like dlls. The MSVC-version remains untouched.
- Make those functions ^ use directly the CPORTLIB library.
