Surely it does not matter that the window is without a delegate? The Window 
is about to close. Unless you have setFreeOnClose: NO (default is YES), so 
that the window just disappears from the screen, but remains in existence. 
In that case, have windowWillClose check  the dontFreeOnClose value to 
decide whether or not to free the Document. 

If I have missed something here about doomed delegateless windows, please do 
tell me, I am (very) far from being an expert NeXT programmer.
