OK, now install on a non Windows 10 machine that doesn't have the VC2015
redist already installed.

I think CMake could be adjusted to make the main solution not depend on the
docs, then the docs would have to be built separately.

You omitted the following parapgraph:

The files can be located in the Visual Studio install directory for
non-Express edition builds, or downloaded from Microsoft for Expresss
edition builds.

That is a leftover part from the express editions, i.e. pre VS2013 which
didn't include the redist installers.  In my VS2013CE installation I have
all the redist files.

I think it can be reworked to be a bit clearer.

TBH I'd actually like to get rid of anything pre VS2013 from the dev guide.
