Decouple TypeScript engine from Chutzpah #177

Chutzpah embeds TypeScript inside of the program but this makes it hard to support new releases and forces users to use the version that Chutzpah embeds. It would be better to make this more flexible and let users point to the version they want to use.

I released version 3.2 (http://matthewmanela.com/blog/chutzpah-3-2-a-smarter-approach-to-compilation/) which included a new compile setting which you should use instead of the former built in compilation approach. Now you provide chutzpah with how to compile which will be faster and not hog memory like the former approach

That is the idea I was thinking of. I originally was holding strong to the idea that Chutzpah should just work out of the box with little effort. However, I am beginning to find many limitation with hosting the TypeScript compiler instead of farming out to it. My thinking is to embed TypeScript 1.0 when its released but then begin to deprecate the embedded TypeScript and recommend telling chutzpah where TSC is.

How does that sound?

This is essential. Would the embedded typescript remain, with the ability to override with custom Typescript compiler directory?
