Description
Dear Stan developers,
In the rstan (2.19.2) installation-from-source page for Windows when it comes to installing Rtools 3.5 it says:
Note that it is NOT necessary to change the path anymore.
Unfortunately, on my system (Windows 10) this is not true and the paths should be added. It took me a good part of the day to find the problem.

Update the documentation so the path requirement is accurate, then verify that the installation instructions clearly describe the expected setup.
