alert() title is "Message from webpage" (Windows)

See original GitHub issue

On Windows using WinForms, the title of the popup windows created by the javascript calls alert(), ‘confirm()’ and ‘prompt()’ is “Message from webpage”, which can be a bit strange when deploying a desktop app.

Hopefully the user never knows there’s a webview front-end, but this makes that fact quite apparent. Any way to customize or change this? Even a blank title would be sufficient / better than the current title.

Yes, it was a hassle to rebase it, so I opted for a fresh start. The branch can be deleted now.

I got the basic implementation working in the alert-box branch. Will merge the branch after #83 is finished.
