It will be quite a bit before the Android plugin is at the point to 
using this since I have a whole bunch of other stuff to do first to even 
get an Android project created and opened.

If you want I could probably write a little test plugin just to see if 
it works, but if there's no rush, I'll get this tested in due course 
otherwise.

P.S. Thanks for adding the feature, it will save me writing tons of 
documentation explaining how to configure Geany to work with the Android 
SDK, I can just do it automatically for users now :)
