Versions.

1.3.1, @ngtools/webpack 1.6.1

Repro steps.

new AoTPlugin({
   mainPath: '/path/to/main.server.ts',
   entryModule: '/path/to/entry-module.module#EntryModule',
   skipCodeGeneration: false,
   replaceExport: false
})

This will generate an incorrect bundle (just main and entry module)

To fix, use either skipCodeGeneration: true (to turn off AoT) or replaceExport: true to properly build.

Desired functionality.

I would like this option documented. I spent some time trying to figure out why my universal bundle in ngtools/webpack was not building correctly and I happened to find this setting. It would be great to have this documented so others don't spend as much time as I did.

I think when ng eject for platform server is out it will be easier for most folks, but until then, the docs are all we really have for universal outside the cli.

Thanks!
