[Ipg-smz] nest app for Linux?

[Perlow, Jason]

There is essentially no relationship between android and Linux beyond the
kernel and the frame buffer for certain types of games they use native
mode. Nothing that runs in userspace touches the tool chain a Linux
distribution uses, it all runs in the android runtime which is essentially
a java virtual machine.
