Answer 2

Not a direct answer to the question, but I think it should be mentioned. The Typescript team has recently added a built in way of managing definition files. They've built the @types system on top of npm. The whole goal is that you don't need to use two separate package managers and you don't need to use multiple config files (previously package.json, typings.json, etc). Now, it's all managed within package.json.

If you were to install lodash, for example. You just:

npm install --save lodash
npm install --save @types/lodash

And you're good to go. Both are managed in your package.json and you won't need to use any /// <reference-path path="blah-blah-blah">.

Or, as Microsoft calls it, "The Future of Declaration Files".
