compiler.outputFileSystem = mfs;
compiler.run(function(err, stats) {
    if(stats.hasErrors()) { throw(stats.toString()); }
    mfs.readdirSync("/").forEach(function (f) {
        if(f === ("app.js")) { return; } // ignore js-file
        fs.writeFileSync(destination + f, mfs.readFileSync("/" + f));
    })
});
