Description

The title kind of says it all. This will reduce compile time and make update packages smaller for liveview.

    Verified working as expected. Titanium SDK 3.1.2.v20130806034554 Alloy 1.2.0-alpha6 Appcelerator Studio 3.1.2.201308021524 CLI 3.1.1 Node 0.10.13 Closing

    PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/pull/380 With any alloy project: 1. alloy compile --config platform=ios (other platforms fine too) 2. Watch the console output, you should see \[INFO\] \[config.json\] regenerating CFG.js from config.json... 3. Repeat step 1 4. In the console output, you should see \[INFO\] \[config.json\] config.json unchanged, using cached config.json... 5. Modify config.json (e.g. set sourcemap to true or false, opposite of whatever it was) 6. Repeat step 1 and you should see the message from step 2 again. In this PR, I compare a hash of the previous build's CFG.js to that of this build. I don't see a convenient and reliable way to bypass reading config.json and hashing it to determine if the file has changed. The performance difference with this implementation is negligible: trading an MD5 hash operation for a file write operation.
