jQuery via ProvidePlugin issue

Hello, after this commit https://github.com/JeffreyWay/laravel-mix/commit/6e1ec3dcd4c3f4408c4ee119d70a1eb7ce6d450e I get error when compiling my assets.

The problem is that I do not use jquery but for example in Dropzone.js is this code.

if (typeof jQuery !== "undefined" && jQuery !== null) {
    jQuery.fn.dropzone = function(options) {
      return this.each(function() {
        return new Dropzone(this, options);
      });
    };
  }

so webpack require jquery but this ended with error.

Error:

Can't resolve 'jquery' in 'C:\xampp\htdocs\Moje\WEBSITES\VueShop\node_modules\dropzone\dist'

What about some provideJquery() function added to Laravel Mix for these who need this, or maybe there is other better solution.

Maybe is problem with Dropzone.js, how they determine if there is Jquery.

I suggest using the following API:

mix.autoload({  // or Mix.autoload() ?
  'jquery': ['$', 'window.jQuery', 'jQuery'],
  'tether': ['window.Tether', 'Tether'],
});

Where the key is the node module and the value is an array of vars to reference it.
