Description

I am using babel-requirejs for having ES6 syntax and modules for my AMD modules. I've loaded Alt from the Bower but something was wrong. I mean, the file dist/alt-with-addons.js does not seem to be built correctly. It assumes React is global rather than the UMD module. It is not clear how to use mentioned addons. E.g. how to import connectToStores from alt-with-addons.js? That file seems to be built in the wrong way. Maybe it would be better to use Webpack to build the correct UMD module?

Research direction
Investigate the current build setup in the repository, focusing on how `dist/alt with addons.js` is generated. Review existing comments in the issue for any proposed solutions. Evaluate the feasibility of replacing browserify with webpack to correctly build UMD modules. Look at webpack configuration examples for similar libraries and the current package.json scripts.
