Docs? :-)

How's it work? Is it recompilation of source? Or is there a way to modify the 
binaries?

That feature is...broken. Still. (Oops.)

It also doesn't "allow packages to be created in native code." It allows 
assemblies to be distributed in native libraries. It's basically `mkbundle`ing 
assemblies into a shared library instead of an app; otherwise, same basic idea.

This confuses me. The NDK that Xamarin.Android uses _is_ system wide (for all 
Xamarin.Android projects, anyway). You can specify the location in Xamarin 
Studio Preferences > Projects / SDK Locations / Android > Android NDK.
