The Android 2.3 ndk now has support for a NativeActivity and there is a
sample of OpenGL ES native program.

General notes:

        * Adds support for native activities, which allows you to
implement the Android application lifecycle in native code.
        * Adds native support for the following:
              o Input subsystem (such as the keyboard and touch screen)
              o Access to sensor data (accelerometer, compass,
gyroscope, etc).
              o Event loop APIs to wait for things such as input and
sensor events.
              o Window and surface subsystem
              o Audio APIs based on the OpenSL ES standard that support
playback and recording as well as control over platform audio effects
              o Access to assets packaged in an .apk file.
