How to add more Android SDKs to build agents?

I need to arrange for the build agent to have additional Android SDKs installed. I have to do this locally on my own machines as well because these SDK versions are not installed by the default Xamarin/VS installation.

From this build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/AArnott/pclcrypto/build/1.0.57
I see this error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(413,2): error : Could not find android.jar for API Level 10. This means the Android SDK platform for API Level 10 is not installed. Either install it in the Android SDK Manager (Tools > Open Android SDK Manager...), or change your Xamarin.Android project to target an API version that is installed. (C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-10\android.jar missing.)

How can I arrange to have this preinstalled?

   I figured it out. I added this powershell script to my Environment Install Script:

   #$AndroidToolPath = "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Android\android-sdk\tools\android"
   $AndroidToolPath = "$env:localappdata\Android\android-sdk\tools\android"

   Function Get-AndroidSDKs() {
       $output = & $AndroidToolPath list sdk --all
       $sdks = $output |% {
           if ($_ -match '(?<index>\d+)- (?<sdk>.+), revision (?<revision>[\d\.]+)') {
               $sdk = New-Object PSObject
               Add-Member -InputObject $sdk -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Index -Value $Matches.index
               Add-Member -InputObject $sdk -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Name -Value $Matches.sdk
               Add-Member -InputObject $sdk -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Revision -Value $Matches.revision
               $sdk
           }
       }
       $sdks
   }

   Function Install-AndroidSDK() {
       [CmdletBinding()]
       Param(
           [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0)]
           [PSObject[]]$sdks
       )

       $sdkIndexes = $sdks |% { $_.Index }
       $sdkIndexArgument = [string]::Join(',', $sdkIndexes)
       Echo 'y' | & $AndroidToolPath update sdk -u -a -t $sdkIndexArgument
   }

   $sdks = Get-AndroidSDKs |? { $_.name -like 'sdk platform*API 10*' -or $_.name -like 'google apis*api 10' }
   Install-AndroidSDK -sdks $sdks
