there might be cases where you need such a makefile - different folks
have different needs;
unless Dan agrees it should be removed I think we keep it;
and for those who're hasty and dont read ./docs/INSTALL to get informed
of another possible way to go once they see an Android.mk in the root we
can explicitely point to ./docs/INSTALL at the top of the makefile;
wouldnt that help?

hmm, I believe the fact that I successfully run a bunch of Android
autobuilds even with a bunch of dependency libs proofes that the way I
did explain in the Android section in ./docs/INSTALL works fine;
so whats wrong with the Android section in ./docs/INSTALL ?
what is missing there or unclear?

Didnt we help you good enough here on the list?

thats the prob: everyone has other needs, and if I would provide a devel
package with everything in some would complain about too much stuff,
while with a devel package with only http/https support the next comes
and complains about missing XYZ ... ;-)
