cmd/doc: submit to the punched card tyranny People use 80-column terminals because their grandparents used punched cards. When I last used a punched card, in 1978, it seemed antiquated even then. But today, people still set their terminal widths to 80 to honor the struggles their fallen ancestors made to endure this painful technology. We must all stand and salute the 80 column flag, or risk the opprobium of our peers. For Pete's sake, I don't even use a fixed-width font. I don't even believe in columns. Fixes #11639 with extreme reluctance. P.S. To avoid the horror of an automatically folded line of text, this commit message has been formatted to fit on an 80-column line, except for this postscript.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
