Build instructions out of date

I was wondering if someone could update the build instructions for this project. I was considering contributing to it, but I can't figure out what steps are necessary to build it for the first time.

Some German dude was very sad about updating his smartphone, since official Dominion is not in the play store anymore and he couldn't figure out what to do to get this vesrion on -- the solution turned out to be building the APK. this was a few days ago

anyway, basically if anyone feels like updating the master branch with Multiplayer or dev branches, and in particular updating the build instructions that people see on https://github.com/mehtank/androminion, it might help out Strangers from the Internet

I'd also like to contribute but there's currently no instructions on the readme for generating an apk file. There's some common bugs I hit which I could help with if I could add some debugging into the app.

@dominionator If you were able to sketch out some basic instructions here I could add them to the readme in a PR.

It looks like the project uses ant for building vdom and androminion, and uses maven for building actionbarsherlock.

For newer sdk's, ant isn't included in the build tools. Also aapt2 is used for building in the newer sdk's, and it causes issues with the actionbarsherlock module with some of the resources which are now considered "private".

I tried converting the project to gradle with minimal changes, but wasn't able to get it producing an apk.

Using gradle would make it a bit friendlier for Android Studio as well.
