To improve behaviour when bower linking add the component your linking's name to the includes
option
Assign your bundle's output to a global variable by passing in something like the following in the output
option
{
filename: '[name]',
library: 'myVariableName'
}
Add outputStats: 'myStatsFile.json'
to your options to generate information about your bundle(s). This can then be analysed at http://webpack.github.io/analyse/
