This is, like, the most awesome thing ever, that LDC is tracking DMD
releases so closely.  Big thanks to everyone involved in making this
happen!

Is this for native Android compilation, or cross-compiling to Android?

Primarily for native compilation (though you'll still need a C 
compiler for linking and I don't know how that works on Android - 
there's no native NDK AFAICT, so people may have to resort to 
Termux or whatever), but it's also useful for cross-compilation, 
as you don't have to cross-compile druntime and Phobos yourself 
and can just extract the prebuilt libs.
