> platform check doesn't warn when it can't install a platform
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> `cordova platform check` basically tries to create a new project with the
> same platforms as in your current project. It doesn't complain about projects
> for which it can't get a version - the original thinking was:
> {quote}
> /* If a platform doesn't install, then we can't realistically
> suggest updating */

> The problem is that if you try to add android, it will often fail because one
> or both of "android" or "ant" will be missing from your path. Since check
> can't install android, it can't get its version and thus can't determine it
> isn't current.
> We should add some logic so that it can report that it can't determine
> instead of making the admittedly stronger claim of "up-to-date".
