We're almost ready to flip the switch and require the Android v7 support libraries and Play Services; let's try not to break Eclipse users when we do so.

Testing this requires the about-to-land R.java patch for the Search
Activity resources, and flipping the switch in
mobile/android/confvars.sh (MOZ_NATIVE_DEVICES=1).

Then you should get more Eclipse projects, after which you can import,
refresh, clean build, and deploy to the device.  I haven't verified
that the resulting APK actually works with a ChromeCast, but I ran
into lots of other linking errors that are now addressed, so I'm quite
confident.

bnicholson, liuche: if one of y'all could review, that would be great.
I'm pretty sure wesj isn't an Eclipse user.
