Nice, just the sort of docs D needs, especially since I've never 
used the emulator and have always avoided the SDK GUI.

I just updated the ldc for Andoid wiki page with some newer 
instructions, which should change your post a little.  In 
particular, you don't have to specify the llvm target triple 
anymore: the latest 1.1.0 builds assume you're cross-compiling 
for Android/ARM.

Also, the dmd for Android wiki page is outdated, as it notes at 
the top.  However, it has some more detail on the build process, 
so if you linked it for that, no big deal.

Only skimmed your post, I'll read it in more detail and may have 
more feedback later.  Thanks for writing it up. :)
