Hi guys,

Working on WebSQL polyfill for Windows8 and WP8 platforms which will be exposed 
as Cordova plugin I found out that there are PCL libraries with all required 
functionality. But I need to write two different Plugin wrappers - one for WP8 
on C# and another one for Windows8 on JS. I'm wondering if we can add Plugins 
support written as Windows Runtime Component[1]

I imagine developers will be able to use this feature as following:

1.       Write C# library which exposes all required functionality, handles 
plugin arguments and callback calls; use conditional compile directives if need 
access to platform specific api; or it could be exactly the same if it is just 
a Cordova wrapper around another library.

2.       Compile two different versions - WP8 / W8, place them accordingly to 
plugin folder structure and specify to be linked during plugin installation.

Benefits:

1.       Write once, deploy to both WP8 and Windows8.

2.       Use C# if you are more comfortable with it.

This involves the following:

1.       Support of linking libraries on WP8, Windows8. It seems Jesse is 
already working on this.

2.       Windows8 proxy modification

I can do further investigation and create a prototype of other devs think this 
is interesting too. Thoughts?
