I have an old app which just uses traditional stlye sheets linked in `index.html`

I’m trying to update that app and used `au new` to bootstrap the setup for a TypeScript/CSS/webpack project. I’m still new to webpack.

`npm run build`ing results in no styles being applied at runtime.  
If I add an import statement to my `main.ts` like `import '../styles/styles.css'` then most of the styling appears.

Any hints on what I need to change from the default project setup to get styles to appear, or must I `import` it in a TS file after all? Do I need to fall back to using the `CopyWebpackPlugin` and just brute force copy the files to the output?
