Looks good!

I was wondering - is there a way (at code level) to distinguish between
json type definitions that are automatically enabled by some plugin
because it has detected the use of i.e. cordova.js vs something the
user explicitly enabled ?

Would be nice to allow users to explicit say I want *this* even though
a plugin haven't been able to detect the library  matching it. If there
is just one kind of On/Off then the plugin can't know if turning it off
is against the users will or just because he stopped using the related
javascript library.

wdyt ?

I think it looks fine.

You mean a separate git repo ? Yes, makes sense to me too. Actually 
thought
that was you and Victor wrote earlier would happen.

Victor - anything besides finding time to do it preventing us from 
putting this in a separate github repo ?

btw. I assume you during the build of tern will then fetch the content 
of the github repo and bundle it
or does it require network access at runtime to get it ?

I do not know about this. Maybe Gorkem does ?
