Versions.

Repro steps.

1. Create an ngModule (feature Module) and publish it to npm.
2. Install the published module into an angular app that has been created via the angular-cli
3. try to lazy load the npm installed module/package, This seems to not be supported, as the current syntax for lazy loading expects something like the below, however, the npm installed module is installed into the node_modules folder.
   {path: 'admin', loadChildren:'app/admin/admin.module#AdminModule'},

The log given by the failure.

Desired functionality.

Should be able to lazy load a module/package that has been installed via npm, similar to how we are able to lazy load feature modules that live within our angular application.

Mention any other details that might be useful.
