Is there anything wrong with this patch to disable all this stuff with WANT_EXAMPLES=off? I haven’t tried building the jar yet but I assume it’s still possible manually?

Actually, the python option is better if it works. We only call
android.bat directly in android/allegro_activity and android/example,
and the latter is unimportant or could be changed. It would be better
to use a uniform solution.
