I think it means you can't use the "stop" command-line argument to stop a
running WebKit on Windows unless you have the win32 extensions
installed. Although looking at the implementation, it looks like it uses
TerminateProcess which is a bit brutal; so I'd probably recommend not using
it even _with_ the win32 extensions installed because it won't have a
chance to do any sort of cleanup, and especially on Win95/98/ME that's a
recipe for crashing your os. And on WinNT/2000 you should be running the
app server as a service, which lets you use the standard service start and
stop mechanisms.
I think the wording of the message leaves a bit to be desired.
