Description

Whenever we release rstantools 2.0.0 is released (https://github.com/stan-dev/rstantools/pull/44) build process and directory structure won't match what we currently have in rstanarm. @bgoodri were you thinking we would change rstanarm to match the new stuff in rstantools before the next rstanarm release? If not then we probably shouldn't have rstantools recommend to developers that they consult the rstanarm source code for examples. I think we may have discussed this but I don't remember what we decided, if anything.

Research direction

Start by reviewing rstantools pull request #44 and comparing its proposed build process and directory structure with the rstanarm source. Determine whether rstanarm should be updated before its next release, and whether rstantools should continue recommending rstanarm as an example. Done means the relationship between the two project structures and the required release decision are documented and agreed.
