Yea, everything is based on lots of assumptions. I wrote that script to
make it possible for others than me to build the apk's , and at least 
both Dirk and Jocke have managed to build apk's so it can't be that
broken.


All of our build scripts makes lots of assumptions, and some of them are
silly, and others just plain broken. Is the right solution to glue even
more shell around everything?


And for everyone who tries to write a shellscript, you might think you
know what you're doing, and you most probably don't. Please use
https://www.shellcheck.net/ before you end up doing rm -rf / directory.
