[Monodroid] Other Android Mono ports

[Jon Dick]

There's nothing (technically) stopping you from making your own 'monodroid',
but given that Novell has people working on this full time for awhile now, i
doubt that's going to be practical for you to do :)

I think all other implementations out there are more prototypes of how it's
possible to run mono on android, and do some JNI stuff...
