Setup Pandroid as our Pandaboard BSP reference build

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

Bring Pandroid into Linaro's build system to act as a reference platform to help us create Panda LEBs, interact with the Pandroid community and work to unify the two efforts.

We need to build the Pandroid build in our build system. The latest is listed at:

http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_L27.12.1-P2_Release_Notes

A tree with all of the steps listed on the Wiki integrated should be hosted by Linaro and changes to support archive creation should be made. These should then be fed back to Pandroid.

In addition, we should work with Pandroid to have them push things up to us (need Gerrit).

Chnages will be documented in the wiki at https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Builds/patrik-ryd/pandroid
