Ok, fixes submitted to both trunk and 1.2 branch.  A build from
branch-1-2-0 is here:
https://sites.google.com/site/scummvmandroid/dev/scummvm-1.2.0-monolithic.apk?attredirects=0&d=1

I see from reviewing the diffs that I do need to build against the
release tag with patches and not just the branch to avoid "1.2.0pre".
So I need to do slightly more svn juggling before it can be published
properly ... almost there.

I haven't been part of a ScummVM release before - once I build the
right package, do I just give the package file to someone or do I
upload/edit the wiki myself?
