Description

I'm attempting to migrate a cobbled-together Electron+Webpack build to electron-webpack and electron-builder to have an integrated solution with HMR. Our current build bundles all dependencies into the main entry point file like you would in a webapp (before bundle splitting) to take advantage of tree-shaking and reduce the final size.

I tried adding my production dependencies to `whiteListedModules`, but electron-builder still added my entire `node_modules` to the output and broke native dependency loading in a cryptic way which worked in the ad-hoc build.

Is it possible to make this sort of setup work, or is there a a specific reason why it's not supported?
