Feature Request: Build Time Rendering

[jantimon]

It would be nice to improve the current state of BTR (jantimon/html-webpack-plugin#579)

Right now there a following open issues:

1. Extract Text Plugin does not work in child compilations (Extract Text Plugin does not work in child compilations webpack-contrib/extract-text-webpack-plugin#389)
2. __dirname does not work (master/lib/NodeStuffPlugin.js does not work when used in child compiler #2978)
3. __file does not work (master/lib/NodeStuffPlugin.js does not work when used in child compiler #2978)
4. no way to define different globals for browser and build time rendering (Webpack DefinePlugin bleeds from child compilation into main compilation #2979)

Could you take a look at the PR?

[jantimon]

Wow this might fix #2979 and maybe also #2978 right?

[sokra]

And you can match different loaders on the modules in the child compilation. I.e. for the html plugin. style-loader -> null-loader

[jantimon]

Wow that would be awesome - I'll give it a try asap I'm done with the webpack 1 to webpack 2 upgrade.

Could you add an example how to do that?
