Dianne Hackborn cf244ada58 Add ability for some manifest attributes to reference resources.
This loosens our restriction on many manifest attributes requiring
literal string values, to allow various ones to use values from
resources.  This is only allowed if the resource value does not change
from configuration changes, and the restriction is still in place
for attributes that are core to security (requesting permissions) or
market operation (used libraries and features etc).

Android Utility Function Library

If you need a feature that is native to Linux but not present on other
platforms, construct a platform-dependent implementation that shares
the Linux interface.  That way the actual device runs as "light" as
possible.

If that isn't feasible, create a system-independent interface and hide
the details.

The ultimate goal is *not* to create a super-duper platform abstraction
layer.  The goal is to provide an optimized solution for Linux with
reasonable implementations for other platforms.
