Comment (by daira):

 Despite the release of Nevow 1.11.1, the "line in question"
 ([source:setup.py#L131) still exists. This is because, very annoyingly,
 Nevow 1.11.1 declared a dependency on Twisted >= 13.0.0 (#2291), which we
 can't use on Windows because of #2028. This situation is likely to persist
 until we are able to depend on a version of Twisted that fixes
 [https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/6032].

 We *could* use the hack in [source:setup.py#L131] only on Windows. I don't
 like this solution because it increases the divergence in build behaviour
 between Windows and other platforms even further.
