Holiday present: SWI-Prolog on Android

Hi,

Well, not really on Android and for some countries a bit late for
holidays, but close enough to allow you to hack a bit of Prolog and even
debug it and run HTTP services on your Android device. Unfortunately
requires you to root your device (yes, at your own risk) and install one
of the Linux-on-android systems. That is not as bad as it sounds,
Linux-on-android basically just runs a GNU/Linux user land in chroot
environment on the Android kernel.

See http://www.swi-prolog.org/build/linuxonandroid.txt for my
experience with this route. Conclusions:

"With an external mouse and keyboard, it works quite ok. Speed on CHAT80
is about 1 million inferences/sec, or about 1/8 of my Intel i7 desktop.
You can run the HTTP services and thus develop HTML5 apps that run
entirely on your Android. I think this should work on any device on
which you can install Linux alongside Android."
