Unfortunately utils.js knows nothing about the project, it re-reads all the
info from file system on each call. This results in lots of cases of re-parsing
of config files or re-listing the same dirs over and over again. On top of that
we add some caching, which then results in weird cache-invalidation bugs.
As I see it, CordovaProject instance should be created by the CLI (or by
any other consumer of cordova-lib) exactly once per process invocation, and
then passed around to be available to almost any cordova-lib function.
// Along the lines of
var cordovaProject = new cordova_lib.CordovaProject(rootDir, ?)
cordovaProject.verbose = args.verbose // etc.
cordova.platform(cordovaProject, 'add', ['android'])
// Or even
crodovaProject.platform('add', ['android'])
// And then inside cordova-lib we use
hooksRunner = new HooksRunner(cordovaProject);
In most places where we pass projectRoot, it should be replaced by
cordovaProject. Or have it accessible as either "this" (e.t. in "create()") or
"this.cordovaProject" (e.g. in HooksRunner methods).
