Optimize dependencies

[bkniffler]

Maybe victory should depend on radium, d3-shape, victory-utils and victory-animations, as these libraries are currently installed in every single victory-xxx package inside victorys node_modules.

Installation was a real pain, as there is a big number of postinstalls executed.

Also, history is present in node_modules, I thought that it was put into devdependencies some time ago. Was this released to npm?

The size requirements aren’t terrible when using npm3, but could be better;

• victory installed with npm3: 326.6mb (install takes 3 minutes on my dual core MBP)
• project depending on victory installed with npm3: 134.4mb (install takes 1 minute on my dual core MBP)
• project depending on victory installed with npm2: 635.6mb

Some large parts:

• dist takes up 5mb per victory component (due to source maps - we could npm ignore source maps.)
• docs takes up 5mb per victory component due to docs/build bundle size (separate issue for ecology bundle size: Slim down bundle size ecology#16). We can npm ignore build since we build docs in victory from source (npm ignore docs/build in subcomponents #206).
• when installing victory in a dependent project with with npm2, webpack and babel take up 50mb in each victory component’s node_modules.

I think 320mb and 3 minutes install time for one module (consisting of different components) is unacceptable! Especially since it would be so easy to fix by adding radium, d3-shape, victory-utils and victory-animations to your victory package directly, so it won't get installed and post-installed multiple times.

Your other mentions could surely help reducing the time/size further. NPM3 installs dependencies in a flat way, so of course it will help. But lots of people still rely on NPM2.
