Description

I'm attempting to manage plugins via plugman rather than the cordova CLI. I have a couple small changes in the source of each platform project that I need to maintain. According to this document this is supported via plugman. Unfortunately plugman is installing plugins to platform_www rather than what I provide on the command line.

± % cordova -v
5.4.1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new cordova project.
2. Add an iOS platform.
3. Run the following:

plugman install --www platforms/ios/www --platform ios --project platforms/ios --plugin cordova-plugin-uniquedeviceid

The result will be the following changes:

± % git status                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       !10076

	platforms/ios/cordova/plugins/
	platforms/ios/frameworks.json
	platforms/ios/platform_www/plugins/

As you can see above plugman is modifying platform_www/plugins rather than the plugin directory I provided. I also tried to use 'www' as the path but receive the same result. From what I can tell the only way to apply the changes from platform_www to www is to run 'cordova prepare' but I can't do that as it will wipe out changes I've made to the platform projects.
