[PATCH] Android: glretracer for Android.

[Chad Versace]

Waffle is intended to built in the Android source tree along with the
rest of the system. It's not possible to do otherwise since it
depends on APIs, internal to the Android system and not shipped by the NDK,
for communicating with the compositor.

To build Waffle, clone the source to $ANDROID_TOP/external/waffle and
call `mmm external/waffle`.

Unlike Waffle, APITrace is intended to be built outside the Android source
tree because it relies only on NDK APIs. APITrace has some good docs on how
to do that; just to search INSTALL.markdown for Android. Using APITrace on
Android is tricky, but not too tricky; read Dalvik.markdown for instructions.

I don't recommend trying to use APITrace on Android < 4.0.

As for the most important part, how to use Juha's glretracer on Android, I
don't how to do that. You're on your own when solving that until Juha returns
from vacation.
