Generate a Script to Get and Rebuild an Android Build

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

The next thing an Android user wants to do is recompile the Android build they've just tried. The commands to do this can be generated by the server to enable the user to easily accomplish this without looking around the build page for all the information. The commands to run would be similar to the commands listed in: http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/2011/09/15/%EF%BB%BFbuilding-a-linaro-android-build-from-source/. The script should download, compile and deploy results to an SD card.
