What about a virtual machine running on Android and then from Android,
ssh -X into it? (I believe Ubuntu 12.04 will do something very close
to that.)

No work for gambas developers + 100% compatibility with all the other
stuff such as sqlite3 that would run on the virtual machine.
Most high end Androids are going dual core, and soon quad core so not
much in the way of a roadblock for the future.

The bulk of the work is to pull everything together by Android
developers so that this can happen on their platform.
