With a little bit of hacking it'd probably work, but I'm not sure of the
status of ocaml-java and haven't looked into the implementation details.
 Since ocaml-java outputs class files (afaik) you'd have to sort of hack
the android build pipeline yourself, but that wouldn't be the hard part:
all the tools are there.  The harder part is that the Android SDK is very
Java oriented, and it just feels awkward as hell to use in OCaml even if
you were to write a thin wrapper around the SDK.
