--options broken

[PhilippSoehnlein]

It looks like v0.4 broke the --options option.

The error message is:

module.js:341
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'config.js'

Steps to reproduce:

• mkdir -p typedoctest/src
• cd typedoctest
• touch src/test.ts
• npm install typedoc
• echo "module.exports = { out: 'docs' }" > config.js
• node_modules/.bin/typedoc --options config.js src

When you look into typedoc/lib/utils/options/readers/typedoc.js:43 you see, that the file can be found, but not required. Manually requiring the file in a REPL works (node -e "console.log( require('./config.js') );").

The same test works with version 0.3.12. I'm using Mac OS 10.11.4 and tried node 5.9.1 and 6.2.0.

If I had to guess, I'm surprised this ever worked. Looking at https://github.com/TypeStrong/typedoc/blob/master/src/lib/utils/options/readers/typedoc.ts#L35, it means no require like that would ever work. The temporary solution would be to use ./config.js.

Would you mind testing #224?
