Android asset support/deployment advice needed

[BogDan]

Hi,

Thank you for your time.
We don't want to extract the content of your assets, we want you to be able to access the 
assets seamlessly, e.g. using a QFile of a QDirIterator objects, also extracting the assets is 
not acceptable because it need extra space and extra time to do it. Currently we manage to
provide the same functionality as Qt's resources, but we want to give developers even more,
to do it, we need add extra support to Google's assets public API. I sent a patch [1] 
yesterday, now we need to wait to see if Google will accept it or not.

Cheers,
BogDan.

Maybe it will prove helpful, maybe not, who knows..
