[Matplotlib-users] Installation issue

[Thomas Caswell]

If you are using conda it may also be worth looking at the recipe build
script and / or the installation.

Our official window install install instructions (
https://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html#build-windows ) point at
matplotlib-winbuild so I think this is our problem to either fix or own
complete install documentation in our docs.
