The WebKit layer (formerly WebKit2) needs to be ported, yes. Sony is
slowly working on this [1], so they would be the best people to ask
about the status, and you could collaborate with them if interested.
Then GTK-specific code will also need to be ported. We've assumed that
PLATFORM(GTK) implies !OS(WINDOWS) for a long time.
Finally, if you do get it working, know that it will break continually
in future releases unless you actively keep fixing Windows-specific
issues. (E.g. the macOS build has apparently not worked for about a
year now.)
