These Weeks In Servo 48

2016-01-25 What's up with Servo for the weeks of 11 Jan 2016 - 25 Jan 2016

In the last two weeks, we landed 130 PRs in the Servo organization’s repositories.

After months of work by vlad and many others, Windows support landed! Thanks to everyone who contributed fixes, tests, reviews, and even encouragement (or impatience!) to help us make this happen.
