typescript compiler doesn't work properly in execjs #1

Typescript compiler (TypeScript.CodeResolver class for example) requires IO class (io.ts) that is defined for Node.js and JScript only. ExecJS hides all CommonJS functions for Node.js so we can't compile IO class for Node.js.

I propose to drop ExecJS and use Node.js directly to run compiler.

I think it could be done with some minor changes to ExecJS. You can force ExecJS to use Node.js. ENV['EXECJS_RUNTIME'] = 'Node' And when you change this line Typescript should have access to everything. I'm not sure if I'm missing a point.
