    When optimist was being used and the default behavior was to create both 
Android and iOS, that was just preserving the original behavior of the shell 
script when this ran only on OSX. Now that you are getting createmobilespec to 
work on Windows and Linux dev machines, it's probably wise to revisit that 
default behavior. I'd suggest that the new default is to create only the mobile 
platforms that are requested. For example "createmobilespec --android 
--blackberry10". If no args are specified, then exit with an error. These 
should be the same words used in the "cordova platform add" command, for 
consistency. And I would also suggest to have them be args instead of a menu, 
so that createmobilespec can be used by a parent script in a scenario such as 
Medic (continuous integration test). Interactive input would make that use case 
difficult.
    
    I see your point about checking which mobile platforms are appropriate for 
the dev workstation, but if the "cordova platform add" command is doing that 
checking already (which is what createmobilespec is calling anyway), then I 
would suggest to not bother implementing that check again here in 
createmobilespec, and just let the error bubble up from "cordova platform add". 
createmobilespec is going to be used only by people developing Cordova, so they 
should already have some knowledge of the basic rules, as compared to an app 
developer. So I think it is OK to let "cordova platform add" catch the issue 
instead of duplicating the "check" logic here, as long as the error does bubble 
up in a presentation that is comprehensible.
