Indeed.  Please, check out the new gradle-kawa-plugin:

    https://github.com/medranocalvo/gradle-kawa-plugin

The plugin integrates Kawa into the Android build system (buildTypes,
productFlavors, etc...).  There's yet no convenient support for
standalone Kawa projects, though it should not be difficult to add.  I
use a rather simple build script myself for Android, we'll see how well
it copes with more complex ones.  Rafael, I read that you have recently
published an app (congratulations!), it would be great if you could try
to build it with the plugin.

There are many possible improvements...  I would like to have some
automated testing, in order to make sure it works with many
Gradle/Android versions.  Time is scarce, tough.  Needless to say, it
would be great if people using Kawa on Android give a hand.

I'm being optimistic and have called it 0.8 already :-).  Looking
forward to your comments!

Best regards,
Adrián.
