good point.
The source code generator don't needs platform files.
The cmake configuration generation needs only a dir name (so it will
generate configs which pointing to that path).
But the problem is (if i remember correctly ), that i use platforms
path as a default anchor point , starting from which, all other
directories are assigned by default.

So, if you set only platform sources path, then you will get:

root:

 platforms/..

build:

platforms/../build

src:

platforms/../src

etc.

Therefore, since code generator writes files to src and build dirs,
you cannot leave platforms dir unspecified.

But of course, when you specify all output dirs by yourself , then it
should not force you to use valid (existing) platforms dir anymore.
