My plan is to package aapt itself and have fdroidserver depend on it, and use
the built-in aapt by default. I've never used Replicant, tho I'm happy to
hear it exists. As for adding support for replicant SDK paths, I think that
should happen upstream. Since I've never worked with it, I can only say
"patches welcome".
