Nicer portable solution for installing the native component

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What feature is requested?
Use SDK 2.3s monkeyrunner and python for cross-platform single solution to 
install the native component
* Most likely Python UI libraries can be used to trigger the installation.
* We might also think about having an add-on to Android's SDK to integrate well 
with SDK?
* Maybe even extending ADT would be an option?

Which version it applies to ?
1.2

What will be the benefits from having the feature?
Easier installation for the users.

My current solution was to have the asl-native file in my apps assets 
directory, then from the app, run shell commands:
(suRun(String command) is a method I wrote to run shell commands from java)
private void InstallNativeService()
    {
        suRun("unzip -o /data/app/com.acs.screencap* *asl-native -d /data/local/tmp");
        suRun("mv /data/local/tmp/assets/asl-native /data/local/asl-native");
        suRun("chmod 0777 /data/local/asl-native");
        suRun("/data/local/asl-native");
    }
