Standard Translation Framework

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Smali/BakSmali, ApkTool, and related systems need to establish a 
comprehensive standard data format so that version dependent and host 
dependent issues such as android sdk failing to be stable do not effect 
the recoverability and portability of existing and future tools. Their 
interdependency is obvious and should be merged/standardized, but inline 
trace and runtime verification should be handled on-board as should an 
api/interface to standard data for visualization and editing. There is no 
reason a client wishing to use (restrict) only one application should have 
anything else running or accessable on the machine, full decomp-inline-rip-
optimize and rewrite core with tool is an easy target for these projects.

I am more concerned with code audit and on-board compiler and system 
visualization especially when the host changes so severely due to 
Google/etc's incompetence.
