Description

The caching of the platform within libs/ is a source of frustration to the continuous build, and to people constantly testing the tool locally against local platform checkouts. It causes you to sometimes not point to where you think it's pointing if the symlink already exists and it's different from what you specified in config.json.

I think the best thing here would be to just not use the libs/ directory at all for the non-lazy-loaded case.
