Binary is larger than expected #8

My full node_modules and application code is ~2MB. The yode runtime itself ~22MB. However, yode dist results in a binary that's ~45MB in size, suspiciously almost double what I would expect. Using 7z and LZMA2 compression, it compresses down to ~6MB as well which is suspicious.

Unfortunately, DEFLATE doesn't do so hot here giving me a compressed size of ~16MB, which is a bit of an immediate problem for me given I'm serving the package compressed with Zlib and DEFLATE. I might consider an LZMA approach in the future (since I just figured out there are native Javascript implementations of LZMA, holy cow) but still somewhat inconvenient.

Did you add out and yode to .gitignore? You can see if your distribution includes unnecessary files by checking the archive generated by npm pack.

That was it, thanks. Closing...
