[erlang-questions] Erlang/OTP 17.0 and android

[Erik Reitsma]

I will make a new zip archive for 17.0 that is downloaded by the updated 
Erlang4Android app, as I did for R16. You could use the same zip file 
and extract it in your own app's private directory. Make sure the proper 
files are executable (e.g. by making all files executable).
With 17.0 I could build for Android from source without modifications. 
Note that the scripts refer to /bin/sh, while on Android sh is in 
/system/bin, so I had to fix that.

*Erik.
