[Ohrrpgce] Android port

Wed Jun 5 08:54:52 PDT 2013

I would like to echo that I am also slightly confused by 
compile-using-toolchain.sh

I needed to use compile-using-toolchain.sh to install the standalone 
toolchain for compiling freebasic for armeabi

To compile OHRRPGCE Game I had to use:

  scons fbc=path/to/fbc android-source=1 debug=1 game

As far as I can see, the compile-using-toolchain.sh script only works 
for compiling the command-line tools, not for compiling game or custom.

Maybe it should bre split and renamed into:

  init-standalone-toolchain.sh
  compile-command-line-tool-using-toolchain.sh

Those names are a bit too long, but at least they are descriptive of 
(what I believe to be) the true purpose of compile-using-toolchain.sh
