Android AVD Screen Density Setting

It's now possible to set a "screen density" setting for the Android emulator. 

The reasoning for this is explained here: groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/eb0447a7effa4ea4
In a nutshell, it's so that certain UI elements can be made to look the same physical size on devices with different pixel densities on the physical screens.

After measuring via a screenshot of the emulator screen, screen density doesn't affect how many pixels is used on the PC's LCD screen to render the device's screen on the emulator.
