the reason i posted in some frustration was that, from the time i
installed the emulator, it worked every time. it took 2-3 minutes on
average to come up but it never, ever hung. and that's the emulator i
installed from the latest SDK tarball.
that's when i decided to git checkout what i *thought* was the froyo
code base (i have seen been enlightened that it isn't) and build it,
and i ran the emulator from *that*. and when i went back to the
original emulator, it started hanging incessantly. several times in a
row. at one point, i left it running bootanimation for an hour, left,
came back and it was still doing that. i started to think it was
because i'd built and run a different emulator that had somehow
screwed with some settings.
in any event, for no reason, the tarball-based emulator is now
running properly again. go figure. i can't explain it.

p.s. i'm still interested in building from the git development branch
when it becomes available. will that be the "froyo" branch when it
appears? as in, "froyo" won't just be a fixed release tag, it will be
the branch heading towards the next release? thanks.
