Hello guys,

I'd like to follow up on Android Unbound DNS porting status.

- We have working binaries for ARM platform, statically linked and all..
- We have Android application, which provides UI to configure and control the 
Unbound DNS service

!! State of Things report (android screenshots included) can be found here: 
https://github.com/smarek/android-unbound-dns/issues/6

! Binaries and Android application can be downloaded here: 
https://github.com/smarek/android-unbound-dns/releases

I'd like to have your opinion on where should the project go next and if 
anybody is interested in taking part in development.

Thank you
Best Regards
Marek Sebera
