Retro Game I on the App Store

[Johan Vos]

We're pretty close to building the JavaFX SDK for Android in the OpenJFX
repository itself.
Currently, the JavaFX SDK build is available at
https://bitbucket.org/javafxports/android/wiki/Home and it is build on the
sources from https://bitbucket.org/javafxports/android-graphics-rt which is
based on the OpenJFX 8.0 tree.
Things like multi-touch support are copied form the 8udev tree into the
bitbucket repository.

Apart from building the SDK from the OpenJFX sources, the big hurdle is the
build process. This is currently a multi-step process but we are trying to
simplify it. For a specific project, I'm already down to a single gradle
file for building a JavaFX app that then runs in 3 flavors: a desktop one,
one using LeapMotion, and an Android one.
