title: Where do the webpack output files from the react-hot-loader go?
body: <p>Let me preface this by saying that everything I have set up works, this is just a question that's nagging me that I would love to get an answer for.  I'm using the react-hot-boilerplate project (<a href="https://github.com/gaearon/react-hot-boilerplate" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/gaearon/react-hot-boilerplate</a>).  However, in <code>webpack.config.js</code>, this setting is confusing me to no end:</p>
  
  <pre><code>output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    publicPath: '/static/'
  },
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In this config, it looks like the output file should go into the <code>dist</code> folder in root of the project.  Even if I manually create the <code>dist</code> folder (which I know I shouldn't have to do), no file gets outputted.  Yet everything works totally fine; the app loads and will hot-reload if I change something in the components.  Where is this output file actually going?</p>
