I may be showing my Java bias but upgrading to Cordova 4 and leaning
against the aar sounds the most "correct".

However if doing a source include is not a maintenance nightmare (IE

phonegap's official packaging system then +1 to that.

For the metrics in cordova we can make it super easy and fully
