They should build. They'll bring in a lot of support modules, but if we 
play our cards right those modules will be built only on Android so it's 
only a matter of library code clutter.

This should be doable by having two build directories, but only one copy 
of the Gnulib source should be needed. The two build directories would 
have different config.h files. You'd run 'configure' twice (or have two 
'configure' files if you want to be fancier). That sort of thing.
