Originally, ANSI color sequences were supported on Windows only by overriding the printf() and fprintf() functions, as mentioned in e7821d7 (Add a notice that only certain functions can print color escape codes, 2009-11-27).
As of eac14f8 (Win32: Thread-safe windows console output, 2012-01-14), however, this is no longer the case, as the ANSI color sequence support code needed to be replaced with a thread-safe version, one side effect being that stdout and stderr handled no matter which function is used to write to it. So let's just remove the comment that is now obsolete.
