Hello,
I just needed to cross-compile Iotivity for Android. I needed a chroot
environment to do that cleanly, and the iotivity root directory ended
up being 22 GB, plus a little more for the chroot environment.

I had to spend hours downloading the right components in the Android
SDK, and the NDK too.

Luckily I have a very fast Internet connection, and if I hadn't, it
would have taken me literally DAYS, to complete this task.

This is is quite a high entry barrier for people who need to get
started, and this seriously harms the reach of the project, IMHO.

Would you consider providing binary releases available on your webpage?

Best regards,
Salvatore
