Unfortunately, I don't know enough about either android development or CMake 
toolchains to be able to review this.

It looks like you have to specify the file directly, in which case we wouldn't 
want to put it in any of the directories we add suggest adding to 
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. Perhaps a separate toolchains directory? Then the builder 
would use -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/usr/share/ECM/toolchains/android.cmake, or 
some such.

Its usage (especially the variables) would need to be documented, of course.
