[opensource-dev] how to read minidumps

[Nexii Malthus]

You can read the google breakpad generated dumps straight into visual
studio. I wasted so much time trying to get minidump_stackwalk and all that
on windows and they don't tell you that you can just use visual studio.

I got crash logging working on my own TPV, I send the reports to my own
crash logging server which accumulates them and provides me an interface to
check out minidumps and logs.
