This should make all RWC projects browseable with an editor on Windows (except two, see below). On Linux it still works pretty well if you are willing to lowercase the imports of the file you're interested in. Many RWC projects already have tsconfig.json files, but this change creates one for projects that don't -- *after* running their respective RWC test. That's because all the information is most easily available at that time, and you probably won't need it until then anyway. Note that two RWC projects use relative paths in their list of stored files and don't work with this simple scheme. I'll look at that next, but if I can't figure it out in the next hour or two, I'd prefer to merge this since it's immediately useful for all the other projects.
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types, classes, and modules to JavaScript. TypeScript supports tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.

Documentation
Building
In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed.
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git
Change to the TypeScript directory:
cd TypeScript
Install Gulp tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g gulp
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
gulp local # Build the compiler into built/local
gulp clean # Delete the built compiler
gulp LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
gulp tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
gulp runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>.
gulp runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is gulp runtests. Optional
parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
gulp baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from gulp runtests.
gulp lint # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
gulp help # List the above commands.
Usage
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
