How to build adb, the Android debugger
adb is the Android debugger (officially the "Android debug bridge" I think). It is a tool for getting shell access to an Android phone across a USB connection. It can also be used to copy files to and from the Android device and do port-forwarding. In short, it is similar to ssh, but is not ssh. (Why couldn't they have just used ssh?)
