One thing that I hope doesn't get lost amidst the jubilation is that I do not think that this changes the recommended way to create Android applications. Generally, developers should write applications to allow the same code run in as many different configurations as possible. Using the compatibility library should help developers create applications that are designed to scale from low-end phones to high-end tablets.
If anything, I believe that the biggest boon is not so much in creating device-specific builds, but being able to leave out some things that are unnecessary to keep application sizes low. If you know that a particular package is going to be used only on small, low-resolutions screens, there is no need to include the artwork for tablets.
