No ES6 support #15

Webpack runs just fine when I run it via cmd from my project's dir. When I run WPTR, it's failing with several errors resembling the following:

    ERROR in ./~/css-loader!./~/postcss-loader!./~/less-loader!./less/SeriesPicker.less
    Module build failed: ReferenceError: Promise is not defined
        at LazyResult.async (C:\src\pacssoft\DICOMSharp\PSWebsite\node_modules\postcss\lib\lazy-result.js:157:31)
        at LazyResult.then (C:\src\pacssoft\DICOMSharp\PSWebsite\node_modules\postcss\lib\lazy-result.js:79:21)
        at Object.module.exports (C:\src\pacssoft\DICOMSharp\PSWebsite\node_modules\postcss-loader\index.js:47:32)

It appears as if the loaders are using ES6 promises which are not supported. The best I can tell looking into this error is that older versions of node didn't support promises, and I suspect WPTR is running an older version of node. Is this an issue with my system's PATH? Something within WPTR?

Task Runner Explorer in VS determines what version of node.js WPTR uses. See here how to change that so it uses the same version you have installed https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2015/03/19/customize-external-web-tools-in-visual-studio-2015/
