Description

I tried to upgrade my version of Cordova to 2.8.19 using npm using the following command, "sudo npm install g cordova". This appeared to work but it resulted in an incomplete install. When I try to build my application I get an error> cp: no such file or directory: /Users/Joe/.cordova/lib/ios/cordova/2.8.0/CordovaLib/cordova.js
Which is because /Users/Joe/.cordova/ is empty.

Reason for this is that on running build, the tools look to the lazy load directory to retrieve JS and possibly other bits. Currently, lazy load only fires by hooking into platform add. Instead, lazy load should be called into for almost every command relying on libraries: the platform parsers, and possibly others.
