Reduce number of dependencies and improve install time #46

Open mstade opened 7 years ago

mstade commented 7 years ago

Expected Behavior

Installing ez-build should ideally be a fairly quick and painless thing. However, the current version of ez-build (0.6.0) takes roughly half a minute to install – using npm3, with npm2 it's even worse – and includes in total over 500(!) modules. That total includes dependencies of dependencies, ad nauseam, so are not necessarily direct dependencies.

This should be reduced as much as possible, such that installation time suffers less.

Current Behavior

Installation time should be faster, include fewer modules, and generally be a smaller install.
