    I did not realize that this was the design all along - of not looking into 
parent directories. I like your idea of passing the path to the JSON file as a 
single argument. I'm less inclined to do others:
    1. 'codova prepare' creating -singing.properties file: There will require a 
lot of platform specific logic being in cordova-lib and less than ideal.
    2. Pass multiple command line parameters: Escaping complex arguments 
correctly on command line might be tricky and messy.
    
    From what I can understand, this results in two changes:
    1. cordova-lib to pass path to build.json. Perhaps find a way to version 
this change - so that older versions of the platforms do not see this 
unexpected arg.
    2. Android build script consuming this build.json and reading the `android` 
section of it.
