Well, I had a look yesterday but didn't find any prebuilt binaries for
Windows of WebkitGTK. If we find some, it should be easy, or at least
possible, to build the plugin. But the very first step is to get a
WebkitGTK build for Windows. Building the whole WebkitGTK stuff is
probably a huge and tedious task. I never ever will do this.

About setting up a build environment on Windows, basic steps, though
maybe outdated, can be found on the Geany website. I intend to write an
up2date howto on setting up a build environment on Windows which is
suitable for building Geany and the plugins but I'm afraid this still
will take some time as it's not one of those tasks I'm excited to do...:
(. I just can ask for your patience.

Me :).
