 Description   

It would be helpful to note that you need to re-run set_gopath.bat every time you change one of the source files, otherwise go build does not recognize the change

All good! Happens to everyone – adding the 'why' is certainly a positive addition to the section =D Thanks!

OK, I clearly didn't RTFM thoroughly, I feel pretty silly.

Comment by Allison Reinheimer Moore [ 20/Apr/15 ]

It currently says "Whenever you make changes to the tools code, you must run set_gopath.bat again before rebuilding the tools."

I've added "or the changes will not be captured by the build."
