Hi,

The "WebKit .NET" project is completely independent from WebKit, it has
no relation with the WebKit project.

As far as I know, WebKit .NET has been discontinued.

To use WebKit on Windows, you can look into the WinCairo project
(http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows).

An other modern web engine on Windows is the blink engine (a fork of
WebKit used by google Chrome): http://www.chromium.org/blink.
