Issue to track progress on breaking out Compiler from TsProject...

Ts2js should use the incremental option in the project TsConfig.json file to determine when to perform incremental compilation.

In an effort to get a better understanding of what's happening under the hood, I started to examine the source code for Ts2Js, assuming that TsBundler and TsMinifier all rely on Ts2Js as a dependency.

in the Compiler.ts class file, I notice the emit method only iterates over the the file names specified as the program root file names, and to my understanding according to the TypeScript API these are the entry points into the application. My question is why are you not iterating over the entire list of source files form ts.program.getSourceFiles so that all the dependencies can be compiled as well? I believe TsBundler is supposed to compile dependencies as well?

I notice my output from TsMinifier results always shows only the entry file and this confused me because I assumed the dependencies would be minified as well? Maybe Ts.Bundler is doing additional work to compile and bundle dependencies that isn't happening in Ts2Js by default? I haven't gone through all of the source code but I thought I'd ask about this.

I am having issues with ts2js...I don't think I can get the compiler to work...I don't get any files to be emitted...I am testing from a Windows machine although this shouldn't make a difference because I can get regular typescript projects to compile, is it only the latest version of typescript supported?

Waiting for Typescript 2.1 to be released.

Update Ts2Js to be dependent on Typescript 2.1.x goodness.

Feature to be added to release 4.1.
