Since v.0.7.0-beta, `build GR` or `build Arpack` (and some more packages that I cannot recall) fails whenever my startup.jl contains `using Statistics` (you can swap that for any other package name, I think). Example of the result:

```julia
> build Arpack
  Building Arpack → `C:\Users\Me\.julia\packages\Arpack\uM2QD\deps\build.log`
┌ Error: Error building `Arpack`:
│ ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package Statistics not found in current path:
│ - Run `Pkg.add("Statistics")` to install the Statistics package.
│
│ Stacktrace:
│ [1] require(::Module, ::Symbol) at .\loading.jl:819
│ [2] top-level scope at C:\Users\Me\.julia\config\startup.jl:10
│ [3] include at .\boot.jl:317 [inlined]

```

This solution is easy (comment out the offending line, before updating), but will not be convenient for new users.
