[android-developers] Re: Enable android:hardwareAccelerated, but build against a target earlier than 3.0

This approach doesn't allow me to build against Android 2.1, though,
as adding android:hardwareAccelerated requires me to build against
android 3.0. I want to build against my min target sdk in order to
make sure no developers on my team (myself included) accidentally
refer to an API that isn't available in my min target sdk.
