Interesting.

I haven't really done anything with Android programming yet, but
the material at that URL reflects what I appear to have discovered
so far.

I don't suppose it's any surprise to you to learn that the CLI
based nature of Android native code development is of exactly
zero concern to me. :-) (And it's actually rather nice you can
use CLI tools.)

Apparently not having the full SDK available through the NDK is
rather annoying however.

Simon.
