[Vm-dev] quit message on windows builds

[Andreas Raab]

Please read the documentation.

http://squeakvm.org/win32/settings.html

  * *EnableF2Menu*: This entry allows you to determine whether the
    preference menu should be shown when pressing F2. The default is 1
    (true).
  * *EnableAltF4Quit*: This entry allows you to specify whether Alt-F4
    (and the windows close button) should be honored or not. The default
    is 1 (true).
    *New for 3.10.8:*When this setting is disabled (0), the VM generates
    a window close event instead which can be handled by the image.

There are many other interesting settings documented at the site that 
you should check out if you're trying to set up production environments 
with the Squeak VM on Windows.

Cheers,
   - Andreas

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.
