[PATCH] Android: glretracer for Android.

[Chad Versace]

(Apologies for the delayed reply. Vacation + a cold recently).

When using GLX and X11/EGL, I always see the window. But, I can't
vouch for Android. To my knowledge, Juha-Pekka is the only one
who has been working on Waffle for Android. I've never ran it on Android,
and no longer have my dev environment set up to do that.

There is a call to setLayer() in droid_surfaceflingerlink.cpp. Maybe the
secret magic should be there, but I'm just guessing.
