I get a number of conflicts when rebasing kitkat-x86 over 10.4, while
upstream/master builds under Android. Would you suggest I skip these and go with
the rebase? I was wondering if, with st/egl removed, master can build all the
needed components under Android - so that I can use it instead.

I have documented the build procedure I followed for Android-x86 over IFC6410 at
[1] and am tracking progress at [2].

Offtopic: What would be a good way for me to get more involved with the
community and keep up with the recent developments?
