-
-         For other overridable properties, look at the beginning of the rules
-         files in the SDK, at tools/ant/build.xml
-
-         Properties related to the SDK location or the project target should
-         be updated using the 'android' tool with the 'update' action.

-               <import> task.
-             - customize it to your needs.
-         - Customize the whole content of build.xml
-             - copy/paste the content of the rules files (minus the top node)
-               into this file, replacing the <import> task.

-         In all cases you must update the value of version-tag below to read 'custom' instead of an integer,
