Easy for anyone who has to actually maintain this. We have to do this on startup, and adding extra code to unzip the jar just to get the config.xml is not something that I want to do, especially since this can slow down the PluginManager and make Cordova slower. There's a point where making things easier for the Web Developer will make the app suck more. I honestly think that we should focus on actually enabling developers to make apps that don't suck, which means that delays for deviceReady for things like this don't belong here. We have more than enough already.
