Virtualenv installation failure due to existing build file

[acolley]

OS = Windows 10 Shell = PowerShell Python = 3.8 Version = current master HEAD: 94bb4220bbef7a7cee50f6829fcf4d4362e487c6

While installing the library into a virtualenv I encountered the following error:

This appears to have been caused by the build file in the root of the repository.

I'm not sure how important this file is but after removing it the installation continues but fails due to a different error noted in another issue: #58.
