amdloader path should be relative to reference file and not outDir

[jeffmay]

If you have a project like so:

public/
  app/
    main.ts
    reference.ts
  test/
    reference.ts

then when you attempt to compile them both into the same directory with an AMD loader...

target/
  js/
    app/
      main.ts
      reference.js
      amdloader.js
    test/
      reference.js

the outDir is "target/js" so the paths in amdloader are all set to "./../main.js" instead of "./main.js".

We should think about how we want to handle multiple reference files in a project. Maybe a separate ticket for this?

In this case, it would be simple enough to allow the user to specify the root path of the AMD loader (configuration is always a good option since people -- like myself -- always have exotic needs).

Alongside this though, I think we could more wisely default to using the path to reference file's directory appended with references (and then normalize the paths?)

@basarat what do you think?

Agreed.

If you want to. I have name suggestion though, call it baseUrl since that is what requirejs uses.
