set PATH for fortran

Thanks a lot for creating this tool!
I found it necessary to add /usr/local/gfortran/bin to the PATH in .Renviron in order to compile packages containing fortran code. Before adding that to the path I got
make[1]: gfortran: No such file or directory
This was on macOS Catalina version 10.15.2 with a fresh R-devel 4.0.0 while attempting to install package ucminf from CRAN.
It is entirely possible that I'm just missing something as I'm in over my head here, but thought I'd mention it.
Cheers

@runehaubo thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it more. (Self note: one instance prior #21).
Right now, the rtools variant is slated to work on the latest patch release (e.g. R v3.6.2). That said, R 4.0.0 will be using clang8, which is one version higher than what is provided now (clang7).
As R 4.0.0 was released in April, the main change was a standalone clang is no longer used. The detection for gfortran increased greatly as well. So, we're going to avoid adding gfortran's location to the PATH.
