Which version of TSC is being used?

Hi there,
I get some very old fashioned compilation errors I haven't seen for a long time, tsc command line tool compiles all files without any errors.

Which typescript compiler version is being used?

I can see a git submodule that links to v1.4... Would you accept a PR for v1.8.7?

Sure! I would love it! I've had no time for my OS project for months!

I tried doing this, but there are some breaking compatibility changes in 1.8, and my TypeScript skills are weak. You can see how far I got: https://github.com/Crunch/typescript-compiler

One of the most important things is to make sure the package.json file is updated with a semver-compatible version number. You can see how I added version metadata on my fork.

Would love to get this updated to TypeScript 1.8 soon! It's a pretty big release!

+1 - I would love to help, but I'm not sure where to start as new to nodejs and typescript.
