In the setup file, I find the following:

However, FAISS does install perfectly fine on Windows on my system. You can also confirm this on the [PyPi page](https://pypi.org/project/faiss-cpu/#files), where Windows wheels are available. Maybe this was true for older versions? For current versions, this can be removed I think.

(This isn't really a bug but didn't know how else to tag.)

If you agree I can do a quick PR and remove that line.
