Multiple Configuration instances

Hi,

Thanks for your plugin.

As per Webpack docs (Docs) it is possible to return an array of configuration objects.

Unfortunately the plugin stores the excluded assets in a local variable which gets altered by each plugin instance. Therefore the excluded assets should be a member property of the plugin itself. See #2 for a potential fix.
