Maxima on Android, available at Google Play (Android market)

Dear Yuasuaki,

I've followed with interest your work, altough I'm still with an
old-fashioned cell phone ;-) Anyway I'm interested in learning something
about Android apps development (in particular, the first will be one
requiring Maxima). So I have a couple of questions:

- your distribution is quite heavy in terms of Mb, have you stripped
binaries after compiling? This can save a lot of space.
- is there a repository for the source code of your package? I wasn't able
to find it anywhere...

Thanks
Stefano
