Description

CLI should add the engine information that it has used to create a project. This would allow us to share Cordova CLI projects without the platforms directory and CLI to regenerate them

Also it would help IDEs and tools work with CLI generated proects.

As a note phonegap build adds a lib[1] object with version and uri to the fetch the engine. Although the approach is correct the information on the Cordova version should allow git URIs in addition to packaged ones.

{"lib":{"www":{"id":"phonegap","version":"3.0.0","uri":"https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-app-hello-world/archive/3.0.0.tar.gz"}},"id":"AAA","name":"HelloWorld"}
