Typescript fails to find type definitions

[letharion]

import * as cookies from 'cookies-js';
yields:
error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'cookies-js'. 'node_modules/cookies-js/dist/cookies.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.

I believe there's (at least) two ways to resolve this.

a) Include explicit "typings" into the package.json file, telling tsc where to look.
"typings": "dist/cookies.d.ts",
this is what I've done locally for now.
b) Submit type definitions to https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped and they will then become available under the new "@types/" package type with npm.

@ScottHamper Would be really nice to have typings correctly discovered by typescript out-of-the-box
