[PATCH] Android: glretracer for Android.

[Juha-Pekka Heikkilä]

The patch which I posted uses inside the cmake files environment variables
which are put in place by build/envsetup.sh and lunch. This mean now you
could not go around from having the entire Android tree in place while
compile apitrace retracer for Android. I will be adjusting the cmake files
to steer away from having the Android tree as mandatory, I will keep your
suggestion in mind and try to see if I can implement it. I am not very
fluent with cmake so I don't make promises on this but on idea level I
think it should work without any problem.

Does Regal on Android use Waffle?
