This patch allows all our development scripts, as well as ndk-gdb
to work well when parameters containing spaces are used.

The $@ shell variable is very special because it will expand
differently if inside a quoted string. What this means is that,
while $@ normally corresponds to the list of all parameters to
a function or script, we have:

  $@   -> expands to a single string
  "$@" -> expands to a series of strings

This is important when using them as parameters to other commands
for example consider:

  # Simple function to dump all parameters, one per line.
  dump () {
     for ITEM; do
        echo "$ITEM"
     done
  }

  dump1 () {   # this will always print a single line
      dump $@
  }

  dump2 () {   # this will print one line per item
      dump "$@"
  }

  dump1 aaa bbb ccc      # prints "aaa bbb ccc" on a single line
  dump2 aaa bbb ccc      # prints three lines: "aaa", "bbb" and "ccc"

Generally speaking, one should always use "$@" except in very rare cases
(e.g. when called from an eval command).

This patch fixes ndk-gdb so it can properly debug an application
that has private services. These will appear in the 'ps' output
as <package-name>:<service-name>, and the way the extract-pid.awk
script worked, were matched against <package-name> incorrectly.

+ Make extrac-pid.awk usable when custom ROM use a Busybox 'ps'
  instead of the standard Android toolbox version

+ Add unit test for extract-pid.awk

This patch contains several fixes for ndk-gdb:

- Allow it to run properly on Darwin, where 'mktemp' will return an
  error if used without parameters. Note that 'mktemp -t <pattern>'
  does not work the same on Linux and Darwin, so use an invocation
  that is supported by all host platforms (Cygwin included).

- Ensure that ANDROID_NDK_ROOT is defined as an absolute path,
  to avoid problems when the script is invoked as in:

      cd $NDKROOT
      ./ndk-gdb --project=/path/to/project/

- The _adb_var_shell redirection was buggy and created files named
  "&1" and "&2" in the current directory for no good reason.

This allows ndk-gdb to properly detects when some adb shell commands fail.
This prevents certain errors from incorrectly propagating to later parts
of the script.

This also simplifies the gdb client invokation by putting
the "file" command inside the gdb.setup file, instead of
using the command-line.

Fix ndk-gdb to _not_ start the activity unless --start or --launch is used.

Add a new option --delay=<seconds> to change the wait delay between the
launch of an activity and its attachement with gdbserver. The default delay
is also changed from 1 to 2 seconds.

Document the system libraries update.

"ndk-build NDK_DEBUG=1" will force the build of a debuggable application.
This really copies gdbserver to the proper location, as if android:debuggable
was set to "true" in the app's manifest.

The value of NDK_DEBUG can be 0, 1, true or false, and will override the content
of the manifest. The main benefit from this change is that you don't have to
edit your manifest file just to rebuilt

"gensub()" is a GNUAwk-ism that should not be used.

Move all awk scripts to build/awk/ and rework them a bit

Add build/awk/xmlparser.awk to parse XML files into something that
is easier to process with awk. Its output is used by several
scripts now (extract-debuggable.awk, extract-package-name.awk and
the new extract-launchable.awk).

Also update documentation.

This is a helper script used to launch a native debugging session.
To use it, follow these steps:

1. Make your application debuggable
2. Build the machine code with 'ndk-build'  (make APP=<name> is not supported)
3. Build the package with ant or the ADT Eclipse plugin
4. Install it on your device/emulator
5. Launch it
6. Run 'ndk-gdb' from your application project directory.

NOTE: To work properly, a modified gdbserver binary must be used
      (one that binds to Unix sockets instead of TCP ones). Patch
      upcoming.
