Use resource sets, and ship one version of your app that supports
multiple screen sizes from a single APK.

My interpretation is that the manifest elements that Al Sutton and Ms.
Hackborn were describing are used as market and installer filters -- the
app will not be installed if you do not meet the manifest criteria. You
might use this, for example, as a stopgap to prevent people from trying
to use your app on QVGA or WVGA screens before you have had a chance to
add support for them.

So, if you want one app to handle more than one screen size, write your
app to handle more than one screen size, and leave those manifest
elements out of it.

Again, this is an educated guess, based upon what we had been told for
the last ~15 months on this issue, and it could be they have a whole
'nuther system in mind now.
