We build and parse fairly simple documents.

I believe we can do without that. It's optional, isn't it? Just edit
include/libxml/xmlversion.h and disable it.

So... building openconnect in a full AOSP build tree, as Jason and I had
been doing, is probably not the best way to do it. What *should* we do?

Should we provide a script which downloads the libxml/gnutls/etc
tarballs and configures+builds them using the NDK, and then builds
openconnect against them? Or even just expect them to be extracted in
the local directory, and add their C files directly to the openconnect
Android.mk (which perhaps should be called Application.mk? )

Or should we just declare that the way to build for Android is with
Cerbero?

Or something else? It'd be good if someone relatively clueless could
manage to build it for Android out of the box without having to jump
through *too* many hoops...
