Can't offline compile components with reference to material components

[thelgevold]

Bug:

From what I can tell, it's not possible to offline compile my components if there are references to MD components.

I have the following CLI generated component:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MdButton } from '@angular2-material/button'; 

@Component({
  moduleId: module.id,
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['app.component.css'],
  directives: [MdButton] // This throws an error when offline compiling
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'app works!';
}

In my sample component I am importing and registering MdButton, but when running ./node_modules/.bin/ngc -p ./src I get the error:

Error: No Directive annotation found on MdButton

What is the expected behavior?

I would expect offline compilation to work with Md components

What is the current behavior?

What are the steps to reproduce?

Offline compile a component with a reference to an MD component.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

OSX, all browsers

Is there anything else we should know?
