Description

There still exists a lot of confusion regarding utilizing the wrong .js file for a given platform. Many people still think that the cordova.js file can be reused across platforms.

We should implement a check in cordova-js, comparing with some tokens that get replaced in the JS at build-time, that verify the version and platform that the .js file is built for matches what the native framework returns. IF it doesn't we can alert the user of the issue and hopefully avoid a lot of headache for users who are unaware.
