This is another flaw in the documentation (system), that it is not 
properly configurable for the actual user environment. The RTL is almost 
only documented and pre-configured for *nix (include paths...), so that 
adding the Windows paths can produce strange results.

Of course cross-compilers can be installed on every machine, so that 
documentation for other platforms and build modes makes sense, to some 
degree. But when it leads to confusion as mentioned above, the 
documentation should contain something like your above clarification.
