Glad to see movement on this. Few suggestions: - use $HOME/.cordova-config/libs <-- this gives us a folder to put other stuff into later, without littering $HOME with .cordova-this and .cordova-that - I would love to have the ability to use different cordova-lib versions within any project easily. Changing the before-hook or adjusting the libs folder sound like global operations. Can we support --libs-dir= command line flag to cordova-cli? This should only need to be specified on create.
