Description

In 2.0.0, we decided that config.xml should exist in some form. Unfortunately, that form has nothing to do with the W3C version. We should try to move towards the W3C version wherever possible. Android was the only one to actually have a config.xml added, mostly because creating this file was trivial.

If this is not technically possible, the xml file should be changed back to cordova.xml.
