Description

When trying to run 'cordova/lib/list-devices.bat' script from windows platform directory, getting following error:

d:\cordova\mobile spec>platforms\windows\cordova\lib\list-devices.bat
[eval]:1 
require('./d:\cordova\mobile 
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL 
    at Object.<anonymous> ([eval]-wrapper:6:22) 
    at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) 
    at evalScript (node.js:536:25) 
    at startup (node.js:80:7) 
    at node.js:906:3 

Cause is that script's path environment variable is not expanded correctly while running inline NodeJS script.
Solution is to place JS logic into standalone JS file (use wp8 platform as sample).

list-emulator-images and list-started-emulators commands also can be ported from wp8 tooling to preserve code consistency.
