Simplify the generation of distribution files for your JavaScript library

dist is basically a wrapper around Rollup, inspired by microbundle, but is specific to the use-cases described below.

Write your library as an EcmaScript Module but still allow it to be require'd in Node.js
Inline your library's dependencies to create a single distribution file that should significantly improve startup time (a quick test of bundling a single dependency cut the dependency's load time in half)
Use the babel option to transpile your code based on your library's Babel configuration

--browser, -b Path for / whether to create a browser-specific (ESM) dist file (defaults to false or browser in package.json)
