Neat stuff! If possible, it would definitely be neat to make glass work more out-of-the-box with Cordova. I'm totally unfamiliar with what tweaks are necessary to make it work though.
One thing that's possible already is to use a custom template. This is the 4th parameter to the create command - a path to a directory to use as the project template. Would be awesome if all of the tweaks could be done via a cordova plugin. Plugins have the <config-file> tag, which allows you to edit XML (although limited) on plugin install time.
