[Vm-dev] quit message on windows builds

[Esteban Lorenzano]

ok, fair enough :)
anyway... I would like the vm's to behave as near as possible between each other... (I know that is not possible always... but at least when it is...)

thanks,
Esteban

I found one difference in vm behavior between mac, linux and windows: when you press "close button" in main window, both linux and mac fires a callback to image, who can decide if quit, quit saving or denial of quit for some reason. Windows, in the other hand, pops up a dialog "Quit Croquet without save" and then quits or not. We can't handle this from image.
