[lxc-users] Announcing public builds of LXC for Android

[Tony Su]

Interesting.
But, many existing Android Users will still have a problem
running/installing a tarball.

If you could take it one step further to package in an APK, you'll likely
get far wider usage.
Of course, with Android, it's also critical to fully document the system
requirements, particularly which Android version the build is against.
