[function(module, __webpack_exports__, __webpack_require__) {
    module.exports = React;
}),
(function(module, __webpack_exports__, __webpack_require__) {
    module.exports = ReactRouterDOM;
}),
(function(module, __webpack_exports__, __webpack_require__) {
    var react = __webpack_require__(0);
    var reactRouterDOM = __webpack_require__(1);
