Fixed it so that cordova doesn't complain about missing "platforms" dir when on platform ls or add. So if you do rm -rf platfroms and then cordova platform add android, ios, ... you get a working project again.
cordova plugins ls/add is already fine with missing plugins dir. cordova prepare fails with no plugins dir, and it should until we teach it to restore plugins from config.xml. Here is a change for --link-to / --copy-from to also link/copy "merges" and config.xml https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/pull/169 does it look ok?
