Big thanks to Tom and everyone else that helped for doing all of this hard work 
twice: once to stand up the initial mingw build, and again after we broke that 
one by requiring stylo. The work that the Tor project does is incredibly 
important, and making it easier for them to ship Tor Browser by not having to 
spend a bunch of time fixing all the things we broke upstream should have a 
huge impact.
