Adding updated information on Windows Builds.

Browse Source 
- Windows builds and loading has been working just fine
- screen does work with Cygwin, but there are output problems (echoing isn't working for basic input, commands still work)
- TeraTerm works good, but kills the serial port if you don't quit after reloading the firmware

Linux Loading Firmware
----------------------
The 'load' script that is created during the build can load the firmware over USB.
It uses sudo, so make sure you have the priviledges.
First place the keyboard into re-flash mode.
This can be done either by pressing the re-flash button on the PCB/Teensy.
Or by entering the Kiibohd Virtual Serial Port and using the 'reload' command.
The 'load' script that is created during the build can load the firmware over USB.

Rather than use a special program that can interpret Raw HID, this controller exposes a USB Serial CDC endpoint.
This allows for you to use a generic serial terminal to debug/control the keyboard firmware (e.g. Tera Term, minicom, screen)

I generally use screen.
You will need sudo/root priviledges if you haven't installed the 98-kiibohd.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo screen /dev/ttyACM0
screen /dev/ttyACM0
(Might be ACM1, ACM2, etc.)

TODO Probably COM1, but not exactly sure. Tera Term.
Make sure the Teensy Virtual Serial Port driver is installed.
If possible use screen (as part of Cygwin).
screen /dev/ttyS3
(Might be a different file, ttyS0, ttyACM0, ttyUSB0, etc.)
