[mono-android] dynamically target Kindle Fire from same project

[Jonathan Pobst]

We also now support declaring permission in code, so you can use defines:

#if !KINDLE
[assembly: UsesPermission (Android.Manifest.Permission.Internet)]
#endif

But I am guessing the actual issue you are hitting is that referencing 
the GoogleMaps assembly automatically adds the <uses-library> to your 
manifest.

So you would need to use conditions like JonP suggests, but on the 
<Reference> to the GoogleMaps.dll instead, and not reference the library 
on Kindle builds.
