+ AOSP folks.

I've been pondering the same thing, so I am glad one of us started this
discussion. Based on what your stating, I think it makes sense to kill
the Android.mk and Android.bp files upstream, but ill let the AOSP
folks chime in as well.

I think it also makes sense to add ANDROID_HOST=y option for the build
so we can at least test the Android host recipe within the upstream Makefiles,
thoughts?
