[mono-android] Side-by-side installs

[Tom Opgenorth]

Thanks.

I'm thinking of a scenario where I have a beta and an production
version of an app on the same device.  It seems to me that it will
cause problems, especially if they're both using the same directory
for things like files, databases, etc. I might give that a try.  Or
just run out and get a Galaxy Nexus as my "production environment" and
my N1 as my "development environment" :)
