I have to say I don't know what to do with this. For one thing, I don't really understand why Android needs a separate build mechanism when all other Linux and BSD incarnations seem to be fine with the standard Makefile. GNU make certainly runs on Android, right? And you would typically cross-compile for Android anyway. Also I have not seen an Android.mk file in any other project I'm working on, and I can't see why i2c-tools would be special in this respect. For another, the current build mechanism is a modular one where the main Makefile includes Module.mk files present in the different subdirectories. I like this design and having a single Android.mk file at the root of the project is inconsistent and breaks that design. As a summary I don't see why anything special is needed for Android, but if something like that is really needed then it should respect the existing modular design. Now if anyone has a more educated view on this than I do, please speak up. Android is really not my thing (as a developer, I mean.)
