Thanks to Denis Bernard!
Also, changed the Android manifest so the app doesn't quit with orientation
changes, and made testgles.c exit properly on Android.
This bumps the build SDK level to 12 (up from 10). Runtime requirements remain
the same (at API level < 12 joystick support is disabled).
Also enables building SDL for armv7 and x86.

SDL's Android project template has old default icons from Android while iOS project template has custom icons with SDL's logo.
There is a Wizard in the Android Developer Tools to create "Android Icon Sets". As an example I created icons from the iOS loading screen and attached them in a ZIP archive. They are named "ic_launcher.png" instead of "icon.png" because that is the new name used in Android projects. To use them the AndroidManifest.xml needs to be changed to have "@drawable/ic_launcher" instead of "@drawable/icon". I do not know why there was no icon created for ldpi. Maybe it is deprecated.

Let me quote the following opening tag from
android-project/AndroidManifest.xml:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
<!-- Replace org.libsdl.app with the identifier of your game, e.g.
com.gamemaker.game
-->
package="org.libsdl.app"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0"
android:installLocation="auto">
The comment (with the text "Replace org.libsdl.app with...") seems to be a
cause of troubles. Here are a few examples I've spotted:
1) While using nkd-build from android-ndk-r8d, I receive the following error:
Invalid attribute name: <!-- replace org.libsdl.app with the identifier of your
game, e.g.
com.gamemaker.game
--
/home/ny00123/util/android-ndk-r8d/build/gmsl/__gmsl:512: *** non-numeric
second argument to `wordlist' function: ''. Stop.
2) Repeating this but with android-ndk-r6b (an earlier revision), it reduces to
a warning and actual complication is not halted.
3) Following the instructions in README.android and using Eclipse (from a
recently downloaded ADT Bundle), I cannot seem to be able to create an Android
project from existing sources (one of the SDL test apps for now).
* On a side note, I can't find where I may choose the "Build Target" before
clicking "Finish", but it does not seem to be related to this bug report.
Anyway, following the choice of the project path and a click on "Finish",
nothing seems to occur.
If I rather do so after removing the above comment from AndroidManifest.xml,
though, the project appears on Eclipse as expected once I click on "Finish".
Added information on how to customize your application name and icon.
Added information on using STL with an Android application
Increased the minimum API level to 10, because that's the lowest API
that currently has an emulator image for testing.
