The intention here is clearly to have the plugin and its dependencies installed
from {{--searchpath}}.
Having to add platforms before adding plugins or having to remember that
{{--searchpath}} doesn't work for platforms that aren't yet present is pretty
painful.
If you don't want to implement any persistence for the {{--searchpath}}, then,
at least trawl through the platform dependencies and warn when they won't do
the right thing.

<platform name="blackberry10">
<dependency id="com.blackberry.utils" />
