@types for sources outside of DefinitelyTyped (previously grabbed through typings)

[MarkPieszak]

TypeScript Version: (2.0.0-dev.20160706)

Now that @types/ is replacing typings, how can we handle types that were coming from things besides DefinitelyTyped, like Github let's say.

Previously in typings this was done by:
"xhr2": "github:gdi2290/typed-xhr2#86ebfa644796b3a6553d22e62bb5e77fcae1eb8d"

xhr2 isn't in @types (https://www.npmjs.com/~types)

How can this be achieved now, is this future functionality that will come in upcoming releases perhaps?

For now I'm still using typings for those definitions that aren't part of @types yet, which isn't the end of the world, just wanted to see if anyone else has been running into this!
