Is there a way that I can customize the Window List Panel Applet so that middle clicking closes a program or group of programs?

The window list applet does not support this. A possible "solution" would be to try dockbarx and use that for managing windows. Please note though that this is unsupported.

No, I don't think so. It's not a bad idea though (imo), and would be consistent with well-established behaviour in other tab-like things. You could file it at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/. Or as Oli says, try to add it yourself.

I just altered the extension.js file that is part of Window List
Here is my altered version extension.js
This is the directory path it is stored in by the app: /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
All you need to do is put the extension.js in your home folder and run these 2 commands
--Backup original extension.js
cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com && sudo cp extension.js extension.js.bak
and
-- Move replacement extension.js
cd ~ && sudo mv extension.js /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com/
