And if perhaps we couldn't get a different name altogether?  'native'
has a meaning normally that's not what it means here.
task-on-device-sdk is a bit wordy, but avoids 'native'.  Of course,
'native development' also has a meaning too.. RPROVIDES perhaps?  Or is
that just the worst of both worlds..
