The point is it fails to load definition files when they are referred from the single tsd.d.ts. Ex: typings/tsd.d.ts (jquery/jquery.d.ts just under typings)
index.ts ... ...
Try to load jspm_packages/github/components/[email protected]/jquery.d.ts, which resolves to 404 :-/
This is because System.normalize uses config.js mappings to translate paths inside .d.ts files. This shouldn't be so when parent is a tsd.d.ts file
Single file compilation no working
