I'll look into seeing if we can install a more recent Java 6 version. Thank you 
for pointing this out.

This is the problem with making things "simple": _something_ has to be 
installed, and given that a huge number of devices still only have 2.3 
installing only recent versions seems silly... That said, we should stop 
installing the older API levels; who uses API 4 anymore?

Use the .exe-based Android SDK installer. That creates a registry entry which 
our installer uses to see if you've already installed the Android SDK.
