Grunt and Cordova 3

The advantages of using Grunt with Cordova:

1. It simplifies working with the cordova cli.
2. It provides a mechanism to copy platform customization to the platforms directory without having to commit the generated plugins and platforms directories to version control.
3. It provides a way to watch resources and automatically run cordova commands.
