Use WebRender with Servo

To use a custom WebRender with servo, go to your servo build directory and:

• Edit Cargo.toml
• Add at the end of the file:

[replace]
"https://github.com/servo/webrender#0.36.0" = { path = 'Path/To/webrender/webrender/' }
"https://github.com/servo/webrender#webrender_api:0.36.0" = { path = 'Path/To/webrender/webrender_api' }

The exact replace references can be obtained with cargo pkgid webrender/cargo pkgid webrender_api command.

• Build as normal
