> Look in src/metadata/*_parser.js
> They all have logic in `update_www()` to copy the cordova.js file from util.libDirectory.
> When users change machines, this turns into an error since the ~/.lib directory is not populated.
> On iOS, the fix is trivial - a copy of cordova.js already exists at platforms/ios/CordovaLib/cordova.js
> For other platforms, we could trivially fix the problem just by not blowing away the www/cordova.js file during prepare, but I think it would be better to not rely on that since likely people should not be committing the generated www/ into source control.
> Instead, let's ensure that all platforms keep a copy of their cordova.js file within their platform/ directory and use copy that into www/ during prepare.
> We could maybe even get rid of the custom logic entirely by putting the cordova.js file within `merges/` upon `platform add`.
