Is the goal here to allow some `settings.gradle` (that is not in
$topsrcdir) to reference `mobile/android/geckoview_example` and have that
build?  That feels possible because the changes you list can all be done
dynamically/conditionally.  The `project.ext...` bits, maybe not so much.

I'd be more interested in this if I could think of a way to have folks
fetch only GVE from, say, GH -- but that appears to be hard.  (Also hard
from hg.mozilla.org, AFAIK.)

Have I misunderstood what's desired here?
