Use android phone as wifi remote for kindle

This is inspired by @coplate idea.

On kindle a small daemon program listens to a port then turns page accordingly. It should work on all touch devices, but I only tested on my PW3.

While @coplate builds a dedicated button as remote, I decided to use an Android phone. The android app monitors key input and sends command to kindle. It's written in C, CLI only, requires root access and need some work to set it up, however it has a small footprint, supports all kind of hardware buttons, and most important, it works when phone is locked/screen off, making it a practical solution for wifi remote.

Check README.txt in attachment for setup instructions. Source code is also included.
