> An {{after_plugin_add}} hook script has access to the following environment variables (with example values):
> {quote}
>   CORDOVA_VERSION: '3.4.1-0.1.0',
>   CORDOVA_PLATFORMS: '',
>   CORDOVA_PLUGINS: 'https://github.com/cdibened/filechooser.git',
>   CORDOVA_HOOK: '.../myApp/hooks/after_plugin_add/my_hook_script.js',
>   CORDOVA_CMDLINE: 'node /usr/local/bin/cordova plugin add https://github.com/cdibened/filechooser.git'
> {quote}
> The problem is when adding a plugin from a remote git repo, there's no easy way of finding out WHICH plugin ID has just been added (which is quite essential for an after_plugin_add hook). The hook only has access to a Git URL.
> We should provide the plugin ID to the hook:
> {quote}
>   CORDOVA_PLUGIN_ID: 'com.cesidiodibenedetto.filechooser'
> {quote}
> We can provide this information from {{cordova-lib/src/plugman/util/plugins.js}}, as a simple process.env export. There are probably more elegant ways, but this would be a good start.
