Suggestion: Remove dev dependency on global packages #8

Closed spicywhitefish closed 8 years ago

In package.json: `- "postinstall": "typings install",

"test": "gulp test"
"gulp": "node node_modules/.bin/gulp",
"typings": "node node_modules/.bin/typings",
"test": "npm run gulp test",
"postinstall": "npm run typings -- install"`

Now gulp install (global gulp) is npm run gulp install. This approach, while a little more verbose, is more accommodating for users or CI environments with a different version of typings or gulp installed globally.

Closing this issue, as this approach has caused difficulties for cross-platform dev. Specifically, the files in node_modules/.bin for Windows are bash scripts, but on OS X, they are JavaScript.
