First of all, I'd like to apologize for not replying for so long, I
was too busy with this thing called life. But am now ready to get back
to work and finish this project.

At this point no, but it's good you brought my attention to it as it
can easily be implemented in the script. In the script itself I
commented a part which says to implement multiarch support. So I guess
that part would take care of the !386 && !amd64 architectures.

Looks great, proper naming too, however the only thing I'm curious
about. Why not have all the tools (even tho users might not use even
1/3 of them)?
In my script this is handled by "Android SDK Starter Package" which
installs *all* the tools, please see line: 315 to ~364

Thank you for appreciating my work.
Which bits did you change because I don't see any chances in the code.
Also why do you think we should separate them in couple of pieces
instead of having the installer which could let you select which
pieces you want and which you don't?

I personally would like to have it all in a single package, thus why I
started working on this installer.
In case we do decide to the way you suggested above, besides being an
uploader do you mind me being a maintainer together with you? Because
I really do have great interest in future of this package.
