Description

Windows vs windows8 support is structured very inconsistently across the plugins.

Some (like device-motion, file, and file-transfer) only have a src/windows folder, and both "windows" and "windows8" in plugin.xml point to that folder. (This is what I would expect to see). On the other hand:

Some (like device-orientation, dialogs, and media) only have a src/windows8 folder and don't even have a <platform name="windows"> in plugin.xml.

Some (like statusbar) only have a src/windows folder and don't even have a <platform name="windows8"> in plugin.xml.

Some (like contacts and device) have src/windows8 and src/windows folders, used by windows8 and windows respectively in plugin.xml
Inappbrowser has a src/windows and a www/windows8, used by windows and windows8 respectively.

This should probably be made more consistent.
