For those who noticed and wonder: from this version on, XCSoar wants
to have a permission called "Read personal log files".  No, XCSoar is
not interested in your personal data, it's just used to extract crash
dumps, so you can write better bug reports, and we can fix crash bugs
more quickly.

This is the relevant source code:
 http://git.xcsoar.org/cgit/master/xcsoar.git/tree/src/Android/LogCat.cpp

If you run CyanogenMod, you can revoke this permission, but then
XCSoar won't be able to extract crash logs.  With stock Android
firmware, you don't have this choice, sorry.
