Description

I used rstantools to add stan to an existing package. And now I am putting it into cran, I have got feedback from CRAN that it shouldn't really be used as rstan can deal with the more recent standards. So should this be removed?

Research direction

Open inst/include/sys/DESCRIPTION at the referenced System Requirements entry and confirm how GNU make is currently declared. Done means the package metadata no longer declares GNU make as a system requirement, if the current rstan standards make it unnecessary.
