that's why this got broken in two --- these changes represent the _current shipping state_ of the NDK, whereas the other changes are where the NDK _will be_ in a few more months.

is there a good place we can document this "track the NDK" policy? (i was surprised to see in some of the diff context here that there's still support for ubuntu's "jaunty" release from 2009, for example, but maybe there's a documented llvm ubuntu release support policy somewhere?)
