Android Port #129

Looking to see the feasibility of building a version that runs on Android. The ARM code is there and there are ways to embed SDL into Android.

Will need to do some code changes to separate the SDL Code from the WXWidgets code so the Android build can have that removed

I'd be curious of how the UI would be approached here. The PCs targeted so far all live happily in the world of 4:3, which presents plenty of empty space to the side for buttons like OSD keyboard, media insert, reboot/ctrlaltdel, configuration etc.

@leilei- There is a PC Emulator for Android that does the UI very good (in my opinion) called LBochs PC Emulator by Luigi B. He has also ported DosBox to Android with the same UI, too. (LDosbox)

Both are avaliable on the Google Play Store

I think the UI could be done something like what Luigi B. has done for LBochs and LDosBox Screenshot_20220827-042704_lBochs PC Emulator
