I'm new to this area. Steve: Can you provide some background on the motivation 
for this change? In particular, what is the advantage of this workflow, over 
the existing one:

I have also made some changes to cordova-lib which will copy the contents of 
cordova-js-src into platform_www when a project gets created. If a user decided 
to do cordova prepare --browserify, it will use the platform specific js files 
included in their app to build their cordova.js. [3] [4]

I think you need to update createmobilespec as it uses the grunt task to 
generate the latest cordova.js for creating an app that is used by the Apache 
CI (http://ci.cordova.io). Now the latest cordova.js is not being generated and 
we are likely missing some test coverage as we make changes to cordova.js.

Thanks,
Nikhil

Subject: Cordova-js update

I have a pull request [1] ready for cordova-js which adds platforms as dev 
dependencies and uses the previously moved cordova-js-src from the platform 
repos instead of src/platform. I moved existing platform specific js into 
cordovajs/src/legacy-exec to use in cases where released platforms don't have a 
cordova-js-src directory. [2]

I have updated both normal build and browserify build to use cordova-js-src if 
present when building cordova.js.

I have also made some changes to cordova-lib which will copy the contents of 
cordova-js-src into platform_www when a project gets created. If a user decided 
to do cordova prepare --browserify, it will use the platform specific js files 
included in their app to build their cordova.js. [3] [4]

I will need to make sure each platform has their most up to date platform 
specific js files in cordova-platform/cordova-js-src. After these PRs get 
merged, platform maintainers should only worry about updating these files 
instead of what exists in cordovajs/src/legacy-exec.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
